Swiss weekly economic activity at pre-crisis levels<\/h1>\n

At the beginning of March, the so-called AES index strongly recovered and temporarily exceeded the pre-pandemic values of the 12th week of 2020<\/em><\/h3>\n

The weekly economic activity index is completed in the Swiss Confederation with a comparison against the pre-crisis level in the fourth quarter of 2019.
\nThe results show that, after the strong increase last March, the pre-crisis level has been temporarily reached.
\nThe index of weekly economic activity (AES) measures real economic activity in Switzerland in a given week compared to the same week in the previous year.<\/p>\n

In week 12 of 2020 the “was” sharp decline<\/h3>\n

In week 12 of 2020 economic activity in Switzerland had experienced a sharp and rapid decline due to the first lockdown.
\nAs a consequence the growth rates for the last weeks compared to the previous year are very high which complicates the interpretation.<\/p>\n

As a complement, SECO therefore also makes the AES index available in comparison with the level in the fourth quarter of 2019.
\nIn the 13th week of 2021, the AES is still about 1 percent below the pre-crisis level. Since the beginning of March, economic activity has recovered strongly and temporarily exceeded pre-crisis levels.<\/p>\n

The key is the reopening of retail trade.<\/h3>\n

This is likely due in part to recovery effects in private consumption. As retail trade has reopened, consumer spending has been able to recover in some segments.<\/p>\n

In March, positive signals also came from the industry, which has weakened slightly recently.
\nIn the last two weeks the AES has fallen considerably below the pre-crisis level.<\/p>\n
