Overview
Austria's foreign reserves stood at $35.0B in 2025, a decline of +$431.0M from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach $35.0B by 2025. Austria ranked 54th globally.
Austria’s foreign reserves have risen dramatically from a modest 720,945,600.00 in 1960, the all‑time trough, to 34,974,666,433.83 in 2025, placing the country 54th globally. The upward trajectory peaked in 2024 at 35,405,646,262.07, reflecting a sustained accumulation of foreign exchange assets over 66 years. This growth outpaces many peers; for example, Serbia held 33,811,608,595.19 and Nigeria 35,280,720,739.10 at comparable points, while Morocco’s reserves were slightly higher at 36,369,943,342.80. The long‑term expansion mirrors Austria’s strong export sector, prudent monetary policy, and integration within the Eurozone, which together have facilitated the steady inflow of capital and the ability to buffer external shocks. Should global trade conditions remain favourable and the European Central Bank maintain accommodative policy, Austria’s reserves are likely to continue their incremental rise, though any sharp currency volatility or major fiscal adjustments could alter this path.
