Economic Expectations Decline - Assessment of the Current Economic Situation Improves
ZEW-CS Financial Market Test Switzerland
In April, the assessment of the current economic situation in Switzerland improves by 16.2 points to a considerable level of 59.1 points. Thus, the surveyed analysts clearly assess the current economic situation to be "good". This positive evaluation of the economic situation may also explain this month's decline of economic expectations. The surveyed experts seem to be convinced that the Swiss economy has already picked up speed.
Looking at the Eurozone, the experts forecast a progressing recovery. Their assessment of the current economic situation improves by 11.3 points to the minus 22.0 points-mark. Likewise, economic expectations for the Eurozone increase by 8.1 points to a level of 55.8 points.
