With annual sales of 43.89 cars per 1,000 residents, 3.91 of them in the last month, Austria, occupies 10th place, so, compared to the other countries in the ranking, its population has a good standard of living.

As can be seen, the number of registrations per thousand residents has fallen in the last year. A drop in registrations generally indicates a fall in consumer confidence and, when it is sustained, a recession in the real economy.
