International Monetary Fund supports Switzerland's economic policy and decisive action to preserve financial stability
Bern, 4.4.2023 - At the conclusion of its annual consultations with the Swiss authorities and the private sector, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has published its assessment. According to this, the Swiss economy has proved resilient in a challenging environment. However, for 2023, the IMF expects that growth in Switzerland will slow to 0.8% and that inflation will remain above 2%. Given the global economic situation and the risks stemming from the financial markets, Switzerland's budgetary, monetary and financial sector policy were appropriate. The IMF acknowledged the authorities' decisive action with regard to the takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS.
