The Swiss government cut its 2026 economic growth forecast on Thursday, saying the U.S. tariffs were additional burdens on exporters and the nation's broader economy. It now expects 0.9% economic growth in 2026, below the 1.2% growth forecast in June, while maintaining its 1.3% projection for 2025.
