UBS provides a comprehensive visual update on the Swiss economy, highlighting the risks posed by Middle East tensions to growth and inflation. While the domestic economy remains resilient, foreign demand is weakening under the weight of higher oil prices and trade tariffs.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.The Middle East crisis is the primary headwind for global and Swiss growth, leading to downward revisions in GDP forecasts.
  • 2.Swiss inflation is projected to rise slightly to 0.6% in 2026 due to higher oil prices, but remains well within the SNB's target range.
  • 3.The SNB is expected to keep its policy rate at 0% for now, despite market expectations of a potential hike.
