SWITZERLAND - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Switzerland is a peaceful, prosperous, and modern market
economy with low unemployment, a highly skilled labor force, and a per capita GDP
among the highest in the world. Switzerland's economy benefits from a highly
developed service sector, led by financial services, and a manufacturing
industry that specializes in high-technology, knowledge-based production. Its
economic and political stability, transparent legal system, exceptional
infrastructure, efficient capital markets, and low corporate tax rates also
make Switzerland one of the world's most competitive economies. The Swiss have
brought their economic practices largely into conformity with the EU's to
enhance their international competitiveness, but some trade protectionism
remains, particularly for its small agricultural sector. The fate of the Swiss
economy is tightly linked to that of its neighbors in the euro zone, which
purchases half of all Swiss exports. The global financial crisis of 2008 and
resulting economic downturn in 2009 stalled export demand and put Switzerland
in a recession. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) during this period effectively
implemented a zero-interest rate policy to boost the economy as well as prevent
appreciation of the franc, and Switzerland's economy recovered in 2010 with
3.0% growth. The sovereign debt crises currently unfolding in neighboring
euro-zone countries pose a significant risk to Switzerland's financial
stability and are driving up demand for the Swiss franc by investors seeking a
safe-haven currency. The independent SNB has upheld its zero-interest rate
policy and conducted major market interventions to prevent further appreciation
of the Swiss franc, but parliamentarians have urged it to do more to weaken the
currency. The franc's strength has made Swiss exports less competitive and
weakened the country's growth outlook; GDP growth fell to 1.9% in 2011 and 0.8%
in 2012. Switzerland has also come under increasing pressure from individual
neighboring countries, the EU, the US, and international institutions to reform
its banking secrecy laws. Consequently, the government agreed to conform to
OECD regulations on administrative assistance in tax matters, including tax
evasion. The government has renegotiated its double taxation agreements with
numerous countries, including the US, to incorporate the OECD standard, and is
considering the possibility of imposing taxes on bank deposits held by foreigners.
These steps will have a lasting impact on Switzerland's long history of bank
secrecy.
