SWITZERLAND - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Switzerland, a country that espouses neutrality, is a 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 gain access to the Union’s Single Market and enhance the country’s international competitiveness. Some trade protectionism remains, however, 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 Swiss exports. The global financial crisis of 2008 and resulting economic downturn in 2009 stalled demand for Swiss exports and put Switzerland into a recession. During this period, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) implemented a zero-interest rate policy to boost the economy, as well as to prevent appreciation of the franc, and Switzerland's economy began to recover in 2010.

The sovereign debt crises unfolding in neighboring euro-zone countries, however, coupled with economic instability in Russia and other eastern European economies drove up demand for the Swiss franc by investors seeking a safe-haven currency. In January 2015, the SNB abandoned the Swiss franc’s peg to the euro, roiling global currency markets and making active SNB intervention a necessary hallmark of present-day Swiss monetary policy. 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 from 2011 through 2017.

In recent years, Switzerland has responded to increasing pressure from neighboring countries and trading partners to reform its banking secrecy laws, by agreeing to conform to OECD regulations on administrative assistance in tax matters, including tax evasion. The Swiss government has also renegotiated its double taxation agreements with numerous countries, including the US, to incorporate OECD standards.

Sanctions List

 

We checked various international sanctions lists, such as the OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control), the BIS (Bureau of Industry and Security), the European Union Restrictive measures (sanctions) list, the Export Control Organisation (ECO) of the UK, the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

 

The company has been listed with the following sanctions:

 

According to the SWX Swiss Exchange; March 4, 2010: The Sanction Commission of SWX Swiss Exchange Ltd. has imposed a CHF 100,000 fine on Lonza Group AG for violation of rules governing management transactions, ad hoc publicity and regular reporting obligations.

 

Lonza Group AG failed to correctly report transactions made by a member of its senior management in February 2009, and subsequently rectified the matter too late. Furthermore, the company committed multiple violations of the ad hoc publicity rules. Firstly it failed to announce the departure of a board member as soon as the board was made aware of that fact. Secondly it did not announce the nomination of a new member of the board once the nomination had been determined. Instead, the public announcement of the nomination was made too late in conjunction with the invitation to the company’s annual general meeting of shareholders. In addition, the invitation was only received by a portion of the circle of recipients prescribed under the ad hoc publicity rules. Lonza also violated a regular reporting obligation by failing to send that invitation to SWX Exchange Regulation.

 

According to the Competition Bureau of Canada; October 16, 2002: On October 16, 2002, the Federal Court of Canada imposed fines totalling $3.875 million for a conspiracy to fix prices and allocate market shares for the vitamin B3 sold in bulk in Canada, against the remaining accused parties in the Bureau's inquiry.

 

Lonza AG of Switzerland pleaded guilty to participating in the international conspiracy, which was initiated in January 1992 and continued until March 1998 in breach of Canada's Competition Act.

 

Lonza AG was fined a total of $1.1-million. The conviction of these parties follow the conviction of Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., BASF AG, Rhône-Poulenc S.A., Eisai Co. Ltd., Daiichi Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. in 1999, where total fines of $88.4 million were imposed by the Federal Court of Canada.
