Switzerland's economy shows resilience amid global turbulence, with a projected growth of 1.4% for 2024, supported by strong performance in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. Low inflation has enabled the Swiss National Bank to cut interest rates, boosting investor sentiment in real estate, where demand for rental apartments remains high despite a slight dip in net immigration. The vacancy rate has decreased to 1.08%, driving rents up by 6.4% in Q2 2024, while the commercial real estate market faces challenges from hybrid work models and online shopping trends.
