Swiss financial sector reinforces its position as key sector of the Swiss economy
The Swiss financial sector is rapidly recovering from the far-reaching financial and economic crisis, reinforcing its position as a key sector of the Swiss economy. In 2014, the sector's economic activity, taking direct and indirect factors into account, resulted in gross value added of around CHF 81.1 billion and 393,000 fulltime equivalent jobs. This is shown by the results of the economic impact analysis drawn up by BAKBASEL, commissioned by the Swiss Bankers Association (SBA) and the Swiss Insurance Association (SIA).
