Abstract
Growth in Austria has been strong, but the outlook has moderated, and financial vulnerabilities are building up. Structural vulnerabilities include a large and tiered banking system, complex ownership structures and financial interlinkages, and a focus on Central, Eastern, and South Eastern Europe (CESEE) markets. Banks are exposed to cyclical risks from volatility in the CESEE, and rising vulnerabilities in the housing market. The solvency coverage ratio of insurance firms is high, but the sector suffers from low growth, low interest rates, and future profitability risk.
