However, the war in Iran is taking its toll. Inflation has risen significantly, and sentiment has deteriorated. As energy prices fall, economic activity will regain momentum from the second half of the year onwards. Austria\u2019s economy is expected to grow by around 1 percent in both 2026 and 2027. Average annual inflation will stand at 3.2 percent in 2026 and decrease to 2.4 percent in 2027.
