KOF International Forecasts
The KOF puts a special emphasis on forecasting the international economy. The quarterly publication KOF International Forecasts presents these international forecasts, including data histories, along with various indicators and forecasts related to the Swiss export sectors.
The KOF International Forecasts are sent out each quarter by e-mail in pdf format. A supplementary Excel file provides the forecasts, including data histories, in digital form.
Printed copies, in booklet style, are available on request. The KOF International Forecast can be purchased as an annual subscription.
The KOF International Forecasts present the international economy from a Swiss perspective and are made for, amongst others, Swiss export-oriented firms, Swiss financial market institutes, and public or private institutions in Switzerland with an international focus.

Swiss economy hit by international trade conflict
The United States’ erratic trade policy has caused even more economic uncertainty in the second quarter of 2025. Tariffs are also weighing on the economic outlook. Data revisions last year mean that KOF is sticking to its forecast of real, sport-adjusted GDP growth of 1.4 per cent for 2025 (1.0 per cent unadjusted) despite a deterioration in its assessment. Its GDP growth forecast for 2026, however, has been lowered by 0.4 percentage points to 1.5 per cent (1.9 per cent unadjusted).
