17 July 2025, 11:20 Switzerland: Trade Surplus Nearly Doubles.
Switzerland's trade surplus widened to CHF 4.3 billion in June 2025, almost doubling from an upwardly revised CHF 2.2 billion in the previous month. Exports rose by 8.6% month-over-month to CHF 23 billion, buoyed by strong demand for vehicles (19.1%), chemical-pharmaceutical products (14.8%), and precision instruments (4.8%). The sharpest increases in shipments were recorded to Slovenia (75.8%), the Czech Republic (61.4%), and Ireland (51.6%). Swiss exports to the US jumped 26.9% in June, rebounding from a 43.8% drop in May, after a draft trade deal was approved nearly two weeks ago, with final sign-off still awaiting President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, imports fell by 1.5% to CHF 18.7 billion, weighed down by decreased arrivals of chemical-pharmaceutical products (-6.6%), paper and graphic products (-3.6%), and energy sources (-2.7%). The most significant declines in imports came from Saudi Arabia (-73.5%), South Korea (-65.7%), and Slovenia (-44%).
