Economic performance has continued to firm in 2016 with support from domestic and external demand. GDP growth is forecast to reach 1.5 percent in 2016, and to stabilize at 1.7 percent over the medium term. Inflation is expected to return to positive territory in 2017 and to continue to rise to the middle of the target band. However, important external and domestic risks could affect this outlook, including resurgence in global financial market volatility, renewed concerns about the financial health of large global banks, and changes in Swiss–European Union economic relations.IMF Staff Country Reports; Country Report ;No. 2016/381Economic developmentBanks and BankingimfForeign ExchangeimfMacroeconomicsimfReal EstateimfIndustries: Financial ServicesimfPublic FinanceimfBanksimfDepository InstitutionsimfMicro Finance InstitutionsimfMortgagesimfHousing Supply and MarketsimfInterest Rates: Determination, Term Structure, and EffectsimfData Collection and Data Estimation MethodologyimfComputer Programs: OtherimfBankingimfCurrencyimfForeign exchangeimfProperty & real estateimfFinanceimfEconometrics & economic statisticsimfExchange ratesimfHousing pricesimfNational accountsimfPricesimfFinancial institutionsimfPublic debtimfCentral bank policy rateimfFinancial servicesimfBanks and bankingimfHousingimfInterest ratesimfStatisticsimfSwitzerlandSwitzerlandimfEconomic development.Banks and BankingForeign ExchangeMacroeconomicsReal EstateIndustries: Financial ServicesPublic FinanceBanksDepository InstitutionsMicro Finance InstitutionsMortgagesHousing Supply and MarketsInterest Rates: Determination, Term Structure, and EffectsData Collection and Data Estimation MethodologyComputer Programs: OtherBankingCurrencyForeign exchangeProperty & real estateFinanceEconometrics & economic statisticsExchange ratesHousing pricesNational accountsPricesFinancial institutionsPublic debtCentral bank policy rateFinancial servicesBanks and bankingHousingInterest ratesStatistics338.9DcWaIMFBOOK9910157524703321Switzerland297230UNINA
