Swiss GDP surprisingly proves most resilient among developed countries

Growth above expectations. Solid domestic demand. Positive outlook for 2021. The franc still
seems overvalued. A digital Swiss franc? Consolidation of Swiss equities.

Key points

  • Swiss GDP surged by +7.2% in Q3, almost making
    up for the -8.6% drop at the end of June
  • Domestic demand is surprisingly strong
  • Switzerland has better been able to withstand
    the Covid-19 shock
  • Positive growth at the end of the year and
    favourable outlook for 2021
  • SNB maintains a different course from that of the
    major central banks
  • SNB assesses the desirability of a digital franc
  • Will the special situation for Swiss yields soon
    come to an end?
  • Further consolidation of Swiss equities
