IMF welcomes Switzerland's forward-looking policy, given global risks
Bern, 6.4.2022 - From 23 March to 6 April 2022, a delegation from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) conducted the annual country evaluation of Switzerland. The IMF observed that, in 2021, the Swiss economy recovered strongly from the pandemic-related downturn. For 2022, the IMF is projecting growth to continue above average, at 2.2%. However, uncertainties are high and require a forward-looking policy capable of reacting appropriately to risks such as energy shortages, threats to price stability or new waves of the pandemic. At the same time, policies should address the longer-term challenges posed by an ageing population and climate change.
