GDP growth revised down from flash estimate of 0.5%.<\/p>\n
Switzerland\u2019s economy expanded less than initially estimated in the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n
Gross domestic product (GDP), adjusted for sporting events, rose 0.4% quarter-on-quarter in the January-March period after growing 0.2% in the previous quarter, according to the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).<\/p>\n
The figure was revised down from a preliminary estimate of 0.5% released in May.<\/p>\n
SECO said industrial activity was the main driver of growth at the start of the year, while expansion in the services sector remained modest and uneven across segments.<\/p>\n
Domestic final demand stayed weak, suggesting that household consumption and private investment provided limited support to overall growth.<\/p>\n
The detailed data came as Switzerland faces a more uncertain external environment, with the war in Iran clouding the outlook for businesses and consumers while boosting demand for the safe-haven Swiss franc.<\/p>\n
A stronger franc can weigh on exporters by making Swiss goods more expensive in foreign markets.<\/p>\n
Separately, Switzerland\u2019s manufacturing sector showed renewed strength, with the manufacturing purchasing managers\u2019 index (PMI) rising to 57.3 in May from 54.5 in April, its highest level in more than three years.<\/p>\n
SECO\u2019s GDP figures exclude the impact of major sporting events, which can distort economic output data because Switzerland hosts several international sports organizations.<\/p>\n
