Swiss Government Updates 2026 Growth Forecast
The Federal Government Expert Group on Business Cycles slightly lowered Switzerland's 2026 GDP growth forecast to 1.0%, citing higher energy prices and global uncertainty.
The Federal Government Expert Group on Business Cycles revised Switzerland's 2026 economic growth forecast down to 1.0%, below the earlier 1.1% estimate, while maintaining a 1.7% forecast for 2027. The adjustment reflects higher energy prices driven by the Middle East conflict, subdued global demand, and a strong Swiss franc weighing on exports and investment. Private consumption remains a key growth driver, but inflation is expected to edge up slightly to 0.4% in 2026. The group warns that geopolitical risks and trade policy changes could further pressure the Swiss economy.
