Switzerland - A Note
Switzerland, officially the Swiss
Federation, is a landlocked country in Western Europe,
consisting of 26 states called cantons. It is bordered by
Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein.
Switzerland is a federal republic long known for its
political neutrality. Berne is the seat of the federation
but the country is more famous for its key cities, Geneva
and Zurich. The neutral attitude adopted by the country has
provided tremendous stability enabling it to become one of
the world's wealthiest countries. Under the country’s
political system of direct democracy, the people are given a
direct say in their own affairs which has no parallel in any
other country.
Switzerland has a stable modern mixed market economy, with a
nominal per capita GDP that is higher than those of the
larger western European economies, the United States, and
Japan ranking 6th behind Luxembourg, Norway, Qatar, Iceland
and Ireland. If adjusted for purchasing power parity it
ranks 5th. The World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness
Report currently ranks Switzerland's economy as the most
competitive in the world. Banking, tourism, pharmaceuticals,
and chemicals, cheese making and dairying are important
industries in Switzerland. The manufacture of precision
instruments for engineering is important, as is watch-making
and the biological sciences industries. The many
international organizations in Switzerland contribute to the
Swiss economy and labor market. Switzerland is also home to
several large multinational corporations. Notable among
these are Nestle, UBS AG, Zurich Financial Services, Credit
Suisse, Novartis, Roche, ABB, Swiss Re, and The Swatch
Group.
