Switzerland GDP Rebounds in Q2
The economy of Switzerland expanded 1.8% on quarter in the three months to June 2021, rebounding from a downwardly revised 0.4% drop in the previous period, as many coronavirus restrictions were lifted or relaxed. It compares with market forecasts of a 2% growth. The service sector recovered, boosted by the hotel and catering industry (48.9%) as catering establishments have been allowed to gradually reopen and domestic tourism has restarted, although the value created by the sector is still about half of that before the crisis. Other increases were also seen in the art, entertainment and leisure sector (52.9%), trade (4.8%) and transportation (1.9%) while financial services fell 0.7%. Meanwhile, private spending surged 4.1%, public expenditure 5.5% due to extraordinary spending to deal with the pandemic and investment in capital goods 1.6%. Year-on-year, the economy expanded at a record 7.7%, although below forecasts of 9%.

Switzerland Economy Back to Contraction
The Swiss economy shrank 0.5% on quarter in the first three months of 2021, reversing from a downwardly revised 0.1% growth in the previous period and in line with market forecasts. The services sector sank sharply due to the tightening of measures to fight COVID-19. The hotel and catering industry (-30.4%) recorded an even more severe decline than in the previous quarter: restaurants had to remain closed and the possibilities for international travel were very limited. The arts, entertainment and leisure sector (-5.1%) also posted a very negative quarterly result due to the tightening of health measures. The area of ??human health and social activities (-3%) also experienced a negative development, in part due to the postponement of planned interventions. As a result, private consumption has fallen a lot (-3.3%). In contrast, the industry has improved, with manufacturing surging 4.9% and preventing a further decline in GDP.
