By Public Technologies
  • French-speaking Switzerland’s GDP growth is forecast to slow to 1.9% in 2026 from 2.2% in 2025, amid global economic headwinds.
  • Regional growth is projected to ease further to 1.5% in 2027, despite firm domestic demand and resilient manufacturing.
  • Swiss GDP growth is forecast at 1.7% in 2026, slipping to 1.6% in 2027.
  • Goods exports represent 48% of regional GDP, leaving the economy exposed to trade barriers and weaker demand in major export markets.
  • Geopolitical tensions, US trade policy and Swiss franc movements pose downside risks; access to foreign markets remains critical to economic security.
