What it is about
Switzerland's infrastructure is impressive: not only in terms of railroads, roads and airports, but also in terms of telecommunications and postal services. However, this quality cannot be taken for granted. It is already clear today that some areas, particularly in the transport sector, have been neglected for too long. Major investments will therefore be necessary to maintain the current level over the coming decades. However, competition must also be promoted. Because experience shows: Basic services can be guaranteed even if they are not always provided by state or state-affiliated companies.
Position of the economy
Sustainably securing infrastructure
- An efficient transport infrastructure requires high levels of long-term investment in order to guarantee quality and capacity for decades to come.
- Neglect in the transport sector must be specifically addressed so that Switzerland can retain its role as a reliable business location.
Strengthening competition in public services
- Competition creates incentives for quality, cost efficiency and customer-oriented services.
