Swiss government raises 2019 GDP growth forecast to 1.2% from 1.1% previously

Thursday, 13/06/2019 | 05:46 GMT-0

Latest economic forecasts released by SECO - 13 June 2019

2020 GDP growth forecast 1.7% (unchanged)
2019 inflation forecast 0.6% (previously 0.4%)
2020 inflation forecast 0.6% (unchanged)

Those are some surprising revisions from SECO and it'll be interesting to see if they match up to the SNB's own projections - which are the more important - later on today. That said, they're not overly optimistic to begin with so I guess you can argue that even with the positive revisions here it doesn't change the region's struggling outlook all too much.
