Switzerland
After decelerating during 2019, economic growth is projected to pick up in 2020-21. Private consumption will remain resilient, supported by low unemployment. A gloomy global environment will weigh on investment and trade, but the current account surplus will remain large. International sporting events will boost service exports and thus growth in 2020. Inflation will be subdued following the recent currency appreciation but inch up in 2021.
