Analysis
Austria recorded 210 for capital intensity in 2015. That is the highest value across all 126 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.9% on the previous year and up 18.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, capital intensity in Austria peaked at 210 in 2015 and was at its lowest, 5, in 1890.
That places Austria 6th out of 23 countries with data for 2015, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
