Summary of developments in the market and views on the economic cycle, interest rates and the business environment
The Swiss National Bank has significantly lowered the reference interest rate in 2024. The scope for easing monetary policy assumed a decline in inflation. The same applies to the international environment, with reduced inflation rates and corresponding interest rate cuts.
While the economic situation in Germany remains challenging, economic growth in the USA has developed encouragingly and a soft landing seems to have been achieved.
For the year 2025, various uncertainties remain, some of which have become more pronounced at the beginning of the year. Successful companies will seize the opportunities arising from these uncertainties.
IFBC is looking forward to addressing specific needs in a personal and interactive way in order to identify and successfully realize precisely these opportunities.
