flag Switzerland’s economy grew 0.2% in Q4 2025, driven by services, despite export headwinds from tariffs and a strong franc.

flag Switzerland’s economy grew 0.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025, reversing a 0.5% contraction in the prior quarter, with full-year growth at 1.4%, up from 1.2% in 2024. flag The rebound was driven by strong services sector performance, while industrial output remained flat. flag A U.S. tariff on Swiss exports, initially 39% and reduced to 15% in November after a deal involving a $200 billion Swiss investment in the U.S., weighed on export-heavy industries like pharmaceuticals and luxury goods. flag The strong Swiss franc, fueled by global uncertainty, also made exports more expensive. flag The Swiss National Bank projects 2026 growth of about 1%, with no immediate plans to cut interest rates further despite potential future negative rates. flag Final data on industrial output and household spending are due February 27.
