Switzerland is world champion in competitiveness!

According to the IMD World Competitiveness Ranking 2025, "Switzerland continues to demonstrate a robust performance, a result of the country’s resilient and stable economic and societal structures. It continues to lead globally in Government Efficiency and Infrastructure, maintaining its first position in both areas.".

In the latest edition of the Boston Consulting Group's (BCG) Global Wealth Report, published in June 2025, Switzerland continues to top the list of financial centres ranked according to the volume of cross-border assets.
