FY2025
Overview
Austria's FMA supervises 838 entities managing €1.46 trillion — with 461 full-time staff. 2025 was its first year running MiCAR and DORA, and it became one of the first EU authorities to publish reporting data on its licensed crypto-asset service providers. The year carried two rare distinctions: a "substantial" FATF rating for anti-money-laundering effectiveness, and not a single FMA decision overturned by Austria's administrative courts. Everything below is the FMA's own data, from its Jahresbericht 2025.

| MiCAR supervision | First year; first-ever published reporting data on FMA-licensed CASPs. The FMA publicly advocates ESMA-level direct supervision for the largest CASPs, mirroring the ECB model for significant banks |
| FATF mutual evaluation (April 2026) | "Substantial" effectiveness rating for AML/CFT — the second-highest achievable |
| Zero decisions overturned | No FMA decisions overturned on the merits by the Federal Administrative Court or Supreme Administrative Court in the reporting year |
| DORA year one | First applicable year; joint FMA–OeNB review drew a positive one-year cyber-resilience balance |
