Schweizer Wirtschaft wächst trotz Rezession in Europa

This text presents the latest economic forecast conducted by the KOF Swiss Economic Institute at the ETH Zurich on 21 June 2013. After an introduction describing the starting points and crucial assumptions underlying the forecast, we summarise the key results for Switzerland. Subsequently, we turn to the international economy as far as relevant for Switzerland before discussing the Swiss economy in detail. For the latter, we forecast the main demand components of GDP as well as important macroeconomic prices and numbers, such as employment and unemployment, the price level and the exchange rate. In the 2013/2014 period covered by this forecast, we expect GDP growth to accelerate slightly, and per capita income to increase as well.
