Household Survey on Financial Wealth 2004

The motivation for the OeNB’s Household Survey on Financial Wealth in 2004 was the sharp rise in households’ financial assets observed in the previous years combined with a concomitant sharp rise in debt. This was the first survey to make available data for analyzing the financial assets and liabilities of households, with a view to gaining important insights into the risk capacity of households.
