The KOF Economic Barometer falls again in May after a rise in the previous month. This year it has only managed to stay very slightly above its medium-term average. Although the Swiss economy is robust, it is not showing much vigour beyond that. In May, the KOF Economic Barometer drops by 1.6 points to a level of 100.3 (after a revised 101.9 in April). Although it has been above the average value of 100 in every month since the beginning of the year, it has not yet been able to rise substantially above this level. The indicator ...

The KOF Economic Barometer rises in April after two consecutive months of decline. With this increase, the barometer settles in the slightly above-average range. The Swiss economic development is robust, but there is currently no strong boost in sight. The KOF Economic Barometer climbs by 1.4 points in April to a level of 101.8 points (from a revised 100.4 in March). The outlook is improving for the majority of the aspects covered by the barometer. In particular, the indicator bundles for financial and insurance services, ...

The KOF Economic Barometer falls slightly in March and now stands at 101.5 points. The Barometer had recorded repeated increases since mid 2023 and is now stabilizing above its long-term average. The outlook for the Swiss economy therefore remains positive. The KOF Economic Barometer stands at 101.5 points in March, 0.5 points lower than in February (revised from 101.6 to 102.0 points). The decline is primarily due to indicator bundles of the construction sector and indicator bundles capturing private consumption. However, ...

The KOF Economic Barometer falls by 0.9 points to 101.6 in February (from a revised 102.5 in January). The outlook for manufacturing and the construction sectors brightened. On the other hand, the outlook for financial and insurance services, hospitality, other services and foreign demand in general worsened. The outlook for private consumption in Switzerland is stable. In the producing sector (manufacturing and construction), indicators such as stocks of finished products, order books and the number of persons employed developed ...

The KOF Economic Barometer rises for the third consecutive month in January. This is the first time since March last year that it rises above its medium-term average. There are increasing signs that the Swiss economy will soon recover. The KOF Economic Barometer rises by 3.5 points to a slightly above-average level of 101.5 points in January (from a revised 98.0 points in December). At the beginning of the year, the prospects for the accommodation industry and the other services sector in particular improved. The indicator bundles ...
- From kof.ethz.ch|Dec 29, 2023
The KOF Economic Barometer rose moderately again in December and now stands at 97.8 points. It is thus once again moving one step closer to its long-term average. The movements at below-average levels that have been observed since the beginning of 2023 are thus continuing. The outlook for the Swiss economy for the start of 2024 therefore remains subdued despite a further improvement. The KOF Economic Barometer stands at 97.8 points in December, 0.6 points higher than in November (revised from 96.7 to 97.2 points). The increase is ...

In November, the KOF Economic Barometer rises moderately and now stands at 96.7 points. It is thus continuing to approach its long-term average. Since the mid of 2023, it has thus remained at a stable, albeit below-average level. Therefore, the outlook for the Swiss economy remains moderate. The KOF Economic Barometer stands at 96.7 points in November, 1.6 points higher than in October (revised from 95.8 to 95.1 points). The increase is primarily attributable to indicator bundles of the manufacturing sector and to indicators ...
- From kof.ethz.ch|Oct 30, 2023
In October, the KOF Economic Barometer remains at an almost unchanged level and stands now at 95.8 points. It thus remains slightly below its long-term average. Together with the small movements of the Barometer since the summer, this indicates a weak but stable development of the Swiss economy towards the end of this year. The KOF Economic Barometer stands at 95.8 points in October, 0.1 points lower than in September. The slight decline is primarily attributable to bundles of indicators from the manufacturing sector and to ...
