Swiss Economic Growth Outlook Slows as U.S. Tariffs Weigh on Exports
The Swiss government has revised down its economic growth forecast for 2026, warning that new U.S. tariffs are likely to hurt the country’s export-driven economy.
According to official figures released on Thursday, Switzerland’s GDP is now expected to grow by 1.3% in 2025 and 0.9% in 2026. The latest forecast marks a downward revision from earlier estimates, reflecting growing concerns about the global trade environment.
Officials cited U.S. trade tariffs as a major factor slowing activity across Switzerland’s key export sectors. The Swiss economy, which depends heavily on international trade, remains sensitive to policy changes from major partners such as the United States.
The government warned that continued trade barriers could further pressure Swiss manufacturers and exporters in the coming years.
