The economists surveyed as part of the Swiss Economic Institute (KOF) Consensus Forecast expect real, adjusted gross domestic product (GDP) to grow by an average of 1.4% in 2025 and 1.6% in 2026. The forecast for unadjusted GDP growth is 1.2% and 1.8% respectively for the coming year, as announced by KOF on Monday.

This means that the growth prospects for the current year are estimated to be slightly weaker than recently. In the December survey, economists had still expected growth of 1.5% after adjustment for sporting events and unadjusted growth of 1.3%. Values for 2026 have now been published in the KOF Consensus for the first time.
