Switzerland as a global leading financial centre

Switzerland has an excellent reputation as a world-leading financial centre. For more than 120 years Switzerland has played an important role as an international financial hub and is recognized worldwide. The stock market is the largest in Europe based on the value of equity trading.

 
The country’s success as a global financial centre is due to several factors. Among them are long traditions of banking and insurance, the stability of the Swiss Franc, a flexible taxation system, and an efficient financial infrastructure. They are the key factors on which the clients’ trust was built.

 
More than 2 000 financial institutions in Switzerland offer a wide range of unique products and services for both institutional and private clients, helping the investors to achieve their financial goals and objectives worldwide.

 
The key pillar of the Swiss financial system is SIX Swiss Stock Exchange which provides up-to-date financial information, the best trading conditions and first-class services in trading for the investors from all over the world.

 
Financial institutions are operating under the strict control of the Swiss Financial Market Regulation Authority (FINMA) which supervises more than 500 banks and independent asset managers. Such thorough regulation and control provides a high level of security for all participants of the Swiss financial market.
