Switzerland’s economy expanded by 0.7% in the first quarter of 2026 on a quarter-over-quarter basis, edging up from 0.5% in the previous quarter. The data, updated on 01 June 2026, indicate a modest acceleration in growth at the start of the year.
The “actual” figure for the first quarter of 2026 reflects the change in GDP compared with the fourth quarter, while the “previous” 0.5% reading captured growth in the prior quarter versus the one before it. The uptick suggests that economic momentum has strengthened slightly, a development that will be closely watched by investors and policymakers for signals on the trajectory of Swiss output in the coming quarters.
