  3. 2013 Credit Suisse Worry Barometer

    In Credit Suisse's 2013 Worry Barometer survey, the majority of Swiss people describe their personal economic situation as good, and more than three-quarters of them express confidence in the country's economic development. They have an accordingly positive opinion of political and economic decision-makers: Confidence in institutions and decision-makers has increased significantly since 2012. The respondents would like to see a more self-confident attitude toward other countries, however. As in previous years, unemployment is the main worry, although the urgency has decreased considerably. Some slight shifts occurred in the worries that were named, as compared to the last few years. The seven most-cited worries in 2013 have long been in the top ten.

  4. Monitor Switzerland – Migration: Market versus contingents

    Credit Suisse economists today published the second issue of the quarterly publication ‘Monitor Switzerland’. They have left the current growth forecast for gross domestic product (GDP) unchanged at 2,0% for 2014. In view of the continued low interest rate environment, the real estate market remains overheated in some areas, and growth in mortgage lending still exceeds GDP growth by a significant margin. They therefore expect an increase in the countercyclical capital buffer. By contrast, the low interest rate environment is not providing much of a stimulus for capital spending on machinery and equipment. As far as the immigration debate is concerned, a statistical analysis conducted by Credit Suisse economists shows that a migration system based on supply and demand helps to strengthen the efficiency of the Swiss economy while, at the same time, alleviating the problem of unemployment during economic downturns. A quota-based system would be clearly disadvantageous on both counts.
