Switzerland Economic Sentiment Index
CS-CFA Society Economic Sentiment Index gauges the amount of confidence that experts have in the projected economic developments over the next six months in Switzerland. A total of 350 financial and economic specialists will participate in the study. When calculating the index, the difference between the percentage share of economists who are optimistic about the development of the economy and the percentage share of economists who are pessimistic is taken into account. As a result, the ZEW index gauges confidence on a scale ranging from -100 (all analysts predict the economy to decline) to 100 (all analysts believe the economy will develop). A number of 0 implies that the scenario is neutral.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the CHF while a lower than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the CHF.
