Situated in the heart of Central Europe and sharing borders with Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein, the Republic of Austria exported goods worth US$213.9 billion worldwide in 2024.
This figure reflects a 31.9% increase compared with $162.1 billion in 2020, although it also represents a slight -1.1% decline from the $216.2 billion achieved in 2023.
In terms of currency effects, Austria trades in the euro, which in 2024 edged up only 0.02% against the US dollar compared with the previous year. This marginal strengthening of the EU's common currency made Austrian exports a little more expensive for international customers paying in US dollars.
