Economic Survey 2026-2027

The Geneva Financial Center carried out this Economic Survey according to the methodology used in previous years. The survey is sent to directors of banks, 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.

For the second consecutive year, the results of the economic survey 2026-2027 demonstrate the strength and dynamism of the banking and financial sector despite the geopolitical turbulence, the introduction of customs tariffs by the United States and extreme foreign exchange volatility.

Several indicators highlight the financial health of the banking institutions, asset managers and other financial intermediaries: net profit, assets under management and net capital inflows rose in the 1st half of 2026.

Its legal certainty and political stability continue to make Geneva attractive for clients from the Middle East, Asia and Europe. The financial sector as a whole remains unaffected by the US tariff policy, although the dollar index value impacts the business performance of players that receive a significant part of their revenue in this currency. Taking into consideration all these factors, banks and asset managers are confident about 2027.
