As such, there&#8217;s not all too much detailed information on this one.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">The Swiss statistics office did note that:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">&#8220;The industrial sector made the largest contribution to growth, which was driven in particular by the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The services sector also grew as a whole.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">In that lieu, it means that much of this &#8220;growth&#8221; is driven by a surge in chemical and pharmaceutical exports &#8211; especially to the US.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">Mind you, Swiss foreign trade saw a material rebound in Q2 as exports were seen up 8.8%. Exports to the US in particular were up 21.5% amid further tariffs threat to the pharmeceutical sector in April. So, the &#8220;growth&#8221; in both exports and trade (in turn GDP) seems to be driven by another round of frontloading to avoid a potential backlash from the tariffs threat before that was dropped in July.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\" class=\"text-align-justify\">\n<p>                            This article was written by Justin Low at investinglive.com.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Switzerland Q2 flash GDP +1.5% q\/q Prior (Q1) +0.4% This is only the provisional estimate and may be revised after when the more detailed report is released, after around another 60 days.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":216,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[86],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-436273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-market-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436273","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/216"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=436273"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/436273\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436273"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=436273"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.swingfish.trade\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=436273"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
