Production and turnover in Switzerland’s secondary sector rose sharply in 2nd quarter 2021

Neuchâtel, 19.08.2021 - Secondary sector production rose by 14.2% in 2nd quarter 2021 in comparison with the same quarter a year earlier. Turnover rose by 15.5%. These sharp increases can largely be explained by the weak 2nd quarter of 2020, during which measures against the COVID-19 pandemic came into effect. This is shown by provisional results from the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
