Fiscal sustainability report
The publication of a fiscal sustainability report is in line with the Fiscal Advisory Council’s statutory mandate to analyze whether Austria’s fiscal policies are sustainable. The first fiscal sustainability report was published in September 2021. From then on, the fiscal sustainability report will be published every third year. The Council’s assessments of long-term fiscal developments reflect, in particular, the expected impact of macroeconomic and demographic changes on public revenue and expenditure. As such, they are the basis for assessing any risks to the general government’s long-term debt sustainability.
