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 began to recover in 2010. 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 below 2%
per year during 2011-13. 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.
