Austria Current Account to GDP
The Current Account in Austria was last reported at 2.7 % of GDP. From 1980 until 2010, Austria's average Current Account as % of GDP was 0.07 % reaching an historical high of 4.90 % in December of 2008 and a record low of -5.10 % in December of 1980. Usually, when Austria records a strong current account, its Gross Domestic Product expands boosted by exports revenues. Also, Austria's exchange rate appreciates as investors begin to expect higher interest rates going forward. However, when Austria reports a stronger than expected current account to GDP, it may also lead to economic overheating and a general rise in prices, also known as inflation, which will make Austria's products less competitive when sold abroad. This page includes a chart with historical data for Austria's Current Account as a % of GDP.

Current account balance as a percent of GDP (current account to GDP) is the current account a country has in percentage of its Gross Domestic Product. The current account is one of the two most important components of the balance of payments; the other is the capital account.

Usually, countries recording a strong current account surplus have an economy heavily dependent on exports revenues, with a high savings ratings but weak domestic demand.
