Public Debt in Switzerland
Switzerland - Public Debt
The economy strengthened in the first quarter, owing to a solid recovery in fixed investment and a pick-up in consumer spending. The upswing could have been short-lived, however, with data for Q2 signaling softer growth. Retail sales fell at a sharp rate in April, while the KOF economic barometer deteriorated further in May. On the political stage, the Swiss government has yet to pass the stalled Switzerland-EU framework agreement, which was designed to closer align Swiss law with EU regulations. Consequently, the European Commission could rule not to extend Switzerland’s stock-exchange equivalence when it expires on 30 June, in efforts to pressure Switzerland into signing the treaty. A non-renewal would block EU investors’ access to Swiss markets, and vice versa, which would disrupt the financial industry and likely undermine investor confidence.Switzerland - Public Debt Data
