Switzerland

Slowing activity in export markets and the strong Swiss franc have depressed economic growth in the second half of 2011. Growth will resume with strengthening global activity in the second half of 2012. While employment growth will be weak and the unemployment rate will rise until mid-2012, employment growth will resume at a moderate pace with overall economic activity afterwards. Consistent with persistent slack in the economy, inflation is projected to remain subdued and increase only gradually at the end of 2013.
