Switzerland's economy rebounded in Q4, with GDP growing 0.2% quarterly, following a 0.5% contraction in Q3. The service sector expanded, while industrial output remained flat. The SECO noted weak growth in services and stagnation in industry, with the pharmaceutical sector showing growth but overall industrial performance negatively impacting GDP. Revised GDP data will be released on February 27. In 2025, the economy grew 1.4%, below the long-term average, affected by a challenging global environment.

- The Swiss economy recovered with a 0.2% GDP growth in Q4, contrasting with a 0.5% contraction in Q3, mainly due to ongoing service sector expansion despite stagnation in industrial output.  
- SECO noted that while overall service growth remains above historical averages, export sectors face global challenges, and industrial growth is hampered by declines in most areas, offsetting gains in pharmaceuticals.  
- For 2025, the economy is projected to grow by 1.4%, which is an acceleration from 2024's 1.2%, although still below long-term averages.

In January, Switzerland's Consumer Price Index maintained an annual increase of 0.1%, and core inflation remained at an increase of 0.5%, both in line with expectations; on a monthly basis, it fell by 0.1%, with the market originally expecting no change, and the previous value showed no increase or decrease. Analysts indicate that the combination of persistently low inflation and a strong Swiss franc may lead the Swiss National Bank to cut interest rates by 25 basis points this year, to -0.25%, with the most likely occurrence in June. The Swiss franc slightly fell by 0.1% during the European session, trading at 1.2996 against the US dollar

According to "Economics," Switzerland's January CPI maintained an annual increase of 0.1%, in line with expectations. The market anticipates that the Swiss National Bank may cut interest rates in June

Switzerland's inflation rate remained steady at 0.1% in January 2026, aligning with December's figures. This stability supports expectations that the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will maintain interest rates at its upcoming meeting. The SNB has lowered its inflation forecasts for 2026 and 2027, and while negative rates are a possibility, the bank is more focused on medium-term inflation trends. Analysts predict inflation will gradually rise, potentially reaching the SNB's target midpoint by 2027, although further appreciation of the Swiss franc may impact imported deflation.

Swiss Inflation Holds Steady — Update

Switzerland's inflation rate has turned negative for the second time since 2021, increasing pressure on the Swiss National Bank to address the economic implications. This negative inflation suggests a potential deflationary trend, impacting consumer spending and economic growth. The central bank may need to adjust policies to stabilize the economy and prevent further deflation, amid broader economic uncertainties.

Switzerland will hold a referendum on June 14 regarding a proposal by the Swiss People’s Party to limit the population to 10 million. If passed, the government would refuse entry to newcomers once the population reaches 9.5 million, potentially ending its free-movement agreement with the EU. The proposal, supported by the SVP, aims to address concerns over immigration and public service strain, despite opposition from the Federal Council. Polls indicate significant public support for the initiative, which requires 100,000 signatures to be voted on.

President Trump announced he raised tariffs on Switzerland to 39% after a phone call with former President Karin Keller-Sutter, citing her aggressive tone. Initially set at 30%, the tariffs were increased due to his dissatisfaction with the conversation. Following public backlash, a trade agreement was reached to reduce tariffs on Swiss imports to 15%. Meanwhile, House Republicans voted against a ban on snap votes to repeal tariffs, allowing Democrats to push for a resolution against Trump's emergency declaration for import taxes on Canada. The Supreme Court is also reviewing the legality of these tariffs.
