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 confidence indicator rose to -34 in November 2025, up from -37 in both October and the same month last year. It marked its highest level since July, driven by stronger economic expectations (-39 vs. -49 in October) and a more positive financial outlook (-29 vs. -32). Consumers were slightly more optimistic about the timing of major purchases (-25 vs. -26), though their assessment of the past economic situation remained weak at -61. The price outlook held steady, while expectations for unemployment worsened (-61 vs. -54).
