In 2024, Swiss companies significantly increased their bond market activity, issuing 16.5 billion francs, a 40% rise from the previous year, likely due to the exit of Credit Suisse from the corporate client sector. Meanwhile, the foreign segment saw a decline, with only 20.6 billion francs issued, reflecting reduced foreign bank involvement and higher currency hedging costs. The total outstanding bond stock rose to 633 billion francs, with domestic borrowers dominating the market.
