Positive Indicators in Switzerland
Based upon all indications the Visit USA committee Switzerland is confident that this year Swiss arrivals in the
U.S. will be crossing the „magic line“ of 400,000 visitors. The rate of exchange of now 0.87 Swiss Francs to the
USD (down from 1.05 a year ago) makes the destination USA a „temptation“ which is hard to resist. The
combination of a strong Franc with high incomes and low taxes provide Swiss travellers with a historically high
purchasing power among Swiss consumers gives reason for an optimistic outlook.
Consumer confidence in Germany weakens
Due to higher prices (strong inflation), the catastrophe in Japan and the crisis in Northern Africa, confidence
among German consumers has recently dropped after being on a record level for the past several months.
However, experts say that this recent drop is mainly based on psychological effects and expect that “once the
dust is settled”, confidence will grow back and this current damp will have no real influence on the actual
economic development in Germany. Therefore the German ministry for economics recently stated that the
government still expects a substantial growth of the GNP in 2011.
