AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Swiss-China Trade Deal: Switzerland and China agreed to phase out almost all customs duties on Swiss exports, with 99.8% of current exports set to enter China duty-free after transition periods. Defense Budget: Switzerland is seeking an extra CHF 970m for air defense in the 2026 budget, citing a heightened threat picture and long delivery times, including down payments for short- and medium-range systems plus radar and drone-counter measures. Energy & Industry: Aventron is exiting Norway by selling its Norwegian hydropower portfolio (42 plants, 143MW) to refocus investment on core markets closer to home. Public Health & Politics: Swiss pro-life groups launched a petition against a parliamentary move to fully fund abortions via mandatory health insurance from Jan. 1, 2027. Economy & Markets: Carry traders are increasingly using the Swiss franc as funding as yen volatility rises and intervention fears grow. Business & Tech: Zurich-based MONDAINE unveiled the “Zurich Meeting Point Clock,” turning the Main Station landmark into a Swiss Made design object.
