Forecasts & Indicators
The KOF regularly publishes various indicators and forecasts. These are partly based on the results of the KOF economic surveys among Swiss companies as well as external data.
News about Forecasts and Indicators:
KOF Monetary Policy Communicator for the Euro Area, March 2026
The KOF MPC figure for 19 March 2026 is 0.29. At today’s meeting, the ECB’s Governing Council decided to keep the three key ECB interest rates unchanged.
Swiss Economy in the Shadow of Global Power Politics
The current forecast is being driven by changes in U.S. tariff policy and by the war being waged by the United States and Israel against Iran. Assuming that the conflict has only limited economic repercussions for Switzerland, KOF expects real GDP growth excluding major sporting events to reach 1.0% in 2026 and 1.7% in 2027. If oil prices were to remain 30% higher on a sustained basis, GDP at the end of 2027 would be 0.6% below the baseline forecast.
KOF Monetary Policy Communicator for the Euro Area, February 2026
The KOF MPC figure for 5 February 2026 is 0. At today’s meeting, the ECB’s Governing Council decided to keep the three key ECB interest rates unchanged.
