Recent prognoses by the OECD indicate robust growth for the Austrian economy over the next few years. The nation's gross domestic product is projected to rise 3 percent in 1998, although the expected turbulence in Asian markets will slow economic growth to 2.8 percent in 1999. There's also good news for the Austrian labor market: the unemployment rate is projected to fall to 5.5 percent in 1998 and to sink further to 4.8 percent by 1999.
