What it is about
State involvement must adhere to the regulatory principles enshrined in the liberal Swiss economic constitution. The state must focus on creating the necessary framework conditions so that entrepreneurial initiative and fair competition can develop in the best possible way. Rules must be proportionate, transparent and effectively enforced. Market-distorting interventions by the state, whether through the provision of economic services or subsidies, must be kept to a minimum. Trade barriers must be consistently dismantled. They hinder competition and lead to less choice and higher prices for consumers.
