Gen­eral Eco­nomic Pol­icy

In day-to-day pol­i­tics the larger eco­nomic pic­ture often gets too lit­tle at­ten­tion. All the more im­por­tant to have a reg­u­la­tory frame­work that serves as a re­li­able com­pass for lib­eral, busi­ness-friendly de­ci­sions. In gen­eral, the suc­cess of the Swiss econ­omy is a fairly re­li­able in­di­ca­tor of the cor­rect­ness of these frame­work con­di­tions. GDP growth is an im­por­tant sign of a suc­cess­ful eco­nomic pol­icy.
