Note: Net lending/borrowing, also referred to as the overall balance, is a measure of a country's fiscal position, expressed as a percentage of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), it indicates the difference between government revenues and expenditures, including any borrowing or lending to other sectors.
Key Takeaways
Switzerland's fiscal trends demonstrate stability and prudence. Deficits during the 1990s peaked at -3.1% in 1993 but were followed by a return to surpluses by 2006, driven by robust economic policies. A surplus of 1.9% in 2008 highlighted Switzerland’s resilience during the global financial crisis.

The COVID-19 pandemic caused a temporary deficit of -3.0% in 2020, but recovery has been swift, with surpluses projected to stabilize around 0.2% from 2025 onward. Switzerland’s fiscal discipline ensures long-term sustainability.
