Economy of Switzerland

The economy of Switzerland is one of the world's most stable economies. Its policy of longterm monetary
security and political stability has made. Switzerland a safe haven for investors, creating an economy that
is increasingly dependent on a steady tide of foreign investment. Because of the country's small size and
high labor specialization, industry and trade are the keys to Switzerland's economic livelihood.
Switzerland has achieved one of the highest per capita incomes
in the world with low unemployment rates and a balanced budget. The service sector has also come
to play a significant economic role.

International Trade
International trade has long been the key to prosperity in Switzerland.Traditionally, its merchandise
trade deficit has been generously compensated by a surplus trade in services. This surplus amounted in
1999 to US$18.7 billion or 7.5 percent of GDP. The country is heavily dependent on export markets to
maintain its large export sector, supply raw materials for the domestic manufacturers, and diversify the
array of goods and services available locally. Switzerland has traditionally very liberal trade and
investment policies, its commercial law and legal system are highly developed, and foreign investments
are protected by solid domestic policies. The Swiss franc is one of the strongest currencies in the world
and the country is known for the soundness of its banking.
