Vision 2015 – Switzerland among the top three centres of international finance worldwide

Basel/Zurich, 13 September 2007 – The Swiss Bankers Association (SBA), the Swiss Insurance Association (SIA), the Swiss Funds Association (SFA) and the companies responsible for Switzerland’s financial infrastructure (SWX Group, SIS Group and Telekurs Group) have produced their first joint strategy as key representatives of the Swiss financial sector. Based on Switzerland’s current strong position, their aim is to put the country among the world’s top three centres of international finance. The targeted growth would create between 40 000 and 80 000 new jobs and generate CHF 11–17 billion in additional new tax revenues, depending on economic trends and how successfully the strategy is put into practice. Specific measures with regard to taxation, regulation and institutions have been drawn up for individual industries and will be put forward for debate in the political arena.
