Economic Growth Revised Downward.

Mar 21

The Swiss government has slightly lowered its 2026 growth forecast to 1.0%, down from earlier estimates of 1.1%. This cooling is primarily due to rising energy prices and global uncertainty tied to Middle East tensions. On March 19, the Swiss National Bank kept its policy rate at 0%, opting for a "wait-and-see" approach. Despite the slow growth, the Swiss Market Index (SMI) has remained resilient, as investors flock to "defensive" Swiss giants like Nestle and Novartis during global turbulence.
