The Geneva Financial Center carried out this Economic Survey according to the methodology used in previous years. The survey is sent to directors of banksm asset managers and other financial intermediaries in Geneva every year in June. The results presented in the following pages reflect their analyses and perceptions.
The survey provides long-term data and is therefore a useful tool to measure changes in opinion among financial intermediaries regarding business performance and the outlook for the Geneva financial center.
The results of the 2024–25 Economic Survey reflect an economic slowdown in 2024 followed by a likely recovery in 2025.
The banking and financial sector faces a moderate economic recovery, higher expenses, and a decline in income from interest.
Despite this challenging context, several indicators underline the good health of banks, asset managers, and other financial intermediaries: wealth management is enjoying favorable momentum, with an increase in assets under management, while on the employment side, job creation is also trending positively.
