A Áustria é um dos 10 países mais ricos do mundo em termos de PIB per capita (US$ 45 000 em 2007). Tem uma economia social de mercado bem desenvolvida e um altíssimo padrão de vida. Até a década de 1980, muitas empresas foram estatizadas. Nos últimos anos, entretanto, a privatização diminuiu a participação estatal a um nível comparável a de outras economias europeias. Junto a uma indústria altamente desenvolvida, o turismo internacional é a parte mais importante da economia austríaca. O PIB em 2007 foi de US$ 270 bilhões.

A Alemanha foi historicamente o principal parceiro comercial da Áustria, o que fez da Áustria dependente da economia alemã. Mas desde que a Áustria se transformou num estado-membro da União Europeia, formaram-se vínculos mais próximos com outros países do bloco e sua dependência da Alemanha diminuiu. O crescimento do PIB atingiu 3,3% em 2006.

Os setores mais importantes da indústria são: cimento, produtos químicos, equipamentos elétricos, madeira, móveis, vidro, ferro e aço, artigos de couro, veículos motorizados, instrumentos ópticos, papel e polpa, alimentos e bebidas, têxteis e roupas. As exportações incluem: madeira, móveis, ferro e aço, papel e polpa, têxteis, maquinaria, eletricidade e magnesita. Moeda: Euro, que substituiu o xelim austríaco em 2002.

Algumas das empresas austríacas mais famosas são a marca Wolford, a fabricante de armas Glock e a Red Bull.
