FX.co ★ Switzerland Consumer Confidence Remains Weak

In August 2025, Switzerland's consumer confidence index diminished to -40, marking the lowest level in four months. This is a decline from -33 in July and falls short of market expectations, which anticipated a reading of -37. Additionally, this indicator reflects a further setback compared to August of the previous year, when the index stood at -35. The sub-index measuring anticipated economic development plummeted significantly to -66, compared to -22 a year prior. In contrast, households reported a somewhat less negative outlook on their past financial situations (-40 versus -53 in August 2024), their expected financial situations (-29 compared to -31), and the timing deemed appropriate for major purchases (-24 as opposed to -32).
