The WIFO Radar of Competitiveness tracks Austria's performance as a business location, taking into account economic, social
and ecological targets. On average across 24 indicators, Austria has recently caught up with the top third of comparable European
countries. The productivity indicators in 2022, the recovery in tourism and an improvement in the ranking for environmental
patents have all contributed to this. In the dimension of labour market and social conditions, Austria has again lost ground.
