About Austria's National Debt
Austria's debt ratio is moderate by eurozone standards, supported by a wealthy, stable economy, though an aging population adds long-term spending pressure.
Austria's debt-to-GDP ratio of 81% is elevated: higher than 73% of the 135 governments tracked here. No ratio is safe or dangerous on its own — whether a debt is sustainable depends on the interest rate on it, how fast the economy grows, the currency it is owed in and who holds it. By total government debt, Austria ranks 22nd of the 135 governments tracked here.
At the current borrowing rate of $1K per second, Austria adds about $98 million to its government debt every day — roughly $35.9 billion per year. Each of Austria's 9 million residents carries an individual share of approximately $54,494. That is above the world average of roughly $14,600 in government debt per person.
