Switzerland as a location

Its geographical position in the heart of Europe, multilingualism, highly developed infrastructure, legal certainty, neutrality, stable political situation, low national debt, a strong currency and an unspoilt environment are some of the major benefits Switzerland brings as a location. All these strengths are backed by its citizens’ deeply rooted traditional values and should continue to provide great stability in the future.

In this environment Switzerland has grown continually as a financial centre. Banking has been one of the key pillars of the Swiss economy since the first banks were founded in Switzerland in the 18th century.

This combination of outstanding conditions, tradition and expertise make Switzerland unparalleled as a financial centre.
