While the latest tariff threats from the US would weigh on Swiss firms, Economiesuisse said they were less severe than earlier rounds of tariffs.

For strategic planning, firms prioritize three-year regulatory clarity over tariff spreads, making policy certainty the critical input for supply chain and budget decisions.
