This is revealed by the Bureaucracy Monitor published on Monday, which was carried out by the research institute gfs on behalf of the business federation Economiesuisse. For this representative study, 1,527 companies from across Switzerland were surveyed between the end of June and the beginning of August.

According to the findings, 67% of companies perceive the bureaucratic burden as fairly high or very high. By contrast, 29% rate it as low. A total of 64% believe that the burden has increased over the past five years. Only 5% report a decrease.
