According to the UBS Worry Barometer, the healthcare system, in particular health insurance premiums, are by far the biggest concern of the population in 2025 at 45%. Environmental protection/climate change and pension provision each concern around a third of respondents. Despite recent reforms, such as the introduction of the 13th AHV pension, financial security in old age remains a perennial issue.

According to the representative survey, the jump in concern about Donald Trump's presidency is particularly striking: just a few months after taking office, this topic climbed from 41st place (2024) to 8th place, which is the biggest change in this year's barometer. The conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East also preoccupied the population much more than in the previous year.
