Swiss national accounts 2015 – Slowdown in growth in 2015
Neuchâtel, 25.08.2016 - (FSO) - In 2015 the Swiss economy registered a growth in gross domestic product (GDP) of 0.8% at the previous year's prices (+2.0% in 2014). Taking a slight decrease in the general price level into account, GDP at current prices grew by 0.3% (2014: +1.4%). This modest increase is in keeping with a difficult monetary environment. The gross national income (GNI) at current prices registered an increase of 1.6% following an improved balance of income with abroad. These results are taken from initial estimates of the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
