GDP flash for the fourth quarter of 2025: Swiss economy grows slightly

16.02.2026 - According to the early estimate of Switzerland's quarterly real GDP approximately 45 days after the quarter end ('GDP flash'), Swiss economic output is estimated to have grown by 0.2% in the fourth quarter of 2025. Growth in the services sector was muted, while the industrial sector stagnated.

Initial results for 2025

According to provisional results, the Swiss economy grew by 1.4% in 2025 overall, following 1.2% the previous year. This is well below Switzerland’s average economic growth (1.8% since 1981). The challenging international environment slowed the export‑oriented industry. By contrast, the services sector grew at an above‑average rate by historical standards.

Notes

  • The flash estimate (‘GDP flash’) around 45 days after the end of the quarter is based on early information available on the production components of GDP. Estimates are used where values are not yet available. The result may therefore change after the complete and updated source data become available.

  • Detailed results on quarterly GDP and updated calculations for the previous quarters will continue to be published by SECO after around 60 days.

  • The GDP flash is a form of experimental statistics.

  • Experimental statistics are produced using new methods and/or data sources and made available to data users at an early stage. They are a focal point of the Confederation's 2024–2027 multi-annual programme for statistics.
