Robustes Wirtschaftswachstum

This text presents the economic forecast presented by the KOF Swiss Economic Institute at ETH Zurich on 28 March 2014. After an introduction describing the starting points and crucial assumptions underlying the forecast, we summarise the key results for Switzerland. Then we turn to the international economy and its effects on Switzerland and the Swiss economy in detail. For the latter, we forecast the main demand components of GDP as well as important macroeconomic prices and figures, such as employment and unemployment, the price level and exchange rates. In the 2013–2015 period covered by this forecast, we expect robust GDP growth along with a moderately positive evolution of average per capita income.
