FX.co ★ Swiss Economic Barometer Highest in 4 Months

Switzerland's KOF Economic Barometer rose to 101.2 in June 2026 from an upwardly revised 98.6 in May, marking a four-month high and clearly exceeding market expectations of 98.2. After spending several months below its medium-term average, the index has now edged slightly back above that threshold. This development points to a marked improvement in Switzerland’s six-month economic outlook, supported by solid manufacturing indicators as well as brighter prospects for foreign demand and private consumption. Most indicator groups within the producing sector, including both manufacturing and construction, mirror this more positive assessment. In manufacturing, business sentiment strengthened broadly across sub-sectors, with particularly notable gains in textiles, machinery and equipment, and paper and printing products.
