In Switzerland, the consumer confidence survey is conducted every year, in the months of January, April, July and October. Around 1000 households are questioned for State Secretariat for Economic Affairs regarding their subjective evaluation of the economic situation, financial situation of the household in question, inflation, job security etc. Generally consumer confidence is high when the unemployment rate is low and GDP growth is high. Measures of average consumer confidence can be useful indicators of how much consumers are likely to spend.

Latest Updates

Switzerland’s consumer sentiment index rose to -31 in December 2025, up from -34 in November and beating market expectations of -33. It marked the strongest level since January 2025, driven by a sharp improvement in the economic outlook (-32 vs. -39) and a modestly better financial outlook (-28 vs. -29). Meanwhile, the unemployment outlook deteriorated slightly (64 vs. 62). Looking at the past situation, households were less pessimistic about both the economic (-59 vs. -61) and financial (-39 vs. -42) conditions. On the price front, expectations for 1-year and 5-year inflation eased, reflecting softer price pressures.
