What it is about
Economic development at home and abroad has a direct impact on employment and prosperity in Switzerland. At the same time, economic growth is often demonized and equated with increasing resource consumption. It is often forgotten that growth is primarily based on innovation and can sometimes also reduce resource consumption. economiesuisse regularly comments on the growth debate and produces a current economic forecast twice a year.
