Impact of Swiss finance sector on country’s GDP waning

  • Impact of Swiss finance sector on country’s GDP waning

The contribution of Switzerland’s finance industry to the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) has decreased over the past ten years.

The share of GDP accounted for by financial and insurance services was 9% last year, down from 10% in 2011, the State Secretariat for International Finance (SIF)  said in a report published on Wednesday.

By comparison, the size of the financial sector in Luxembourg is 25.1% of GDP. In Singapore, it’s 13.8%, in the US 8.9%, and in the UK 8.2%, the SIF wrote.

The number of employees in the Swiss finance sector dropped from around 216,400 in 2011 to 211,605 in 2021, and now account for 5.2% of the overall workforce.

Fewer banks

The total number of banks declined from 320 to 243, with private banks and foreign-controlled banks recording the biggest decrease.

The development reflects the impact of the structural change in wealth management for foreign assets, according to the SIF.

The four main Swiss banking institutions meanwhile accounted for 45% of the entire balance sheet totals in 2020.

Fintech boost

Latest figures also show Switzerland becoming a global hub for start-ups that rely on blockchain technology, mainly in the fintech sector.

The number of such companies climbed from 842 in 2019 to 1,128 in 2021, and accounted for just over 6,000 employees.

Finally, total capital investments of Swiss insurers increased to CHF579.5 billion ($611.4 billion) in 2020 from CHF490.6 billion in 2010, the SIF reported.

 

  • Zvogëlimi i ndikimit të sektorit financiar zviceran në PBB-në e vendit

Kontributi i industrisë së financave të Zvicrës në produktin e brendshëm bruto (GDP) të vendit është ulur gjatë dhjetë viteve të fundit.

Pjesa e PBB-së e llogaritur nga shërbimet financiare dhe të sigurimit ishte 9% vitin e kaluar, nga 10% në vitin 2011, tha Sekretariati Shtetëror për Financat Ndërkombëtare (SIF) në një raport të botuar të mërkurën.

Për krahasim, madhësia e sektorit financiar në Luksemburg është 25.1% e PBB-së. Në Singapor është 13.8%, në SHBA 8.9%, dhe në MB 8.2%, shkroi SIF.

Numri i të punësuarve në sektorin e financave zvicerane ra nga rreth 216,400 në 2011 në 211,605 në 2021, dhe tani përbëjnë 5.2% të fuqisë së përgjithshme të punës.

Më pak banka

Numri i përgjithshëm i bankave ra nga 320 në 243, ku rënien më të madhe shënuan bankat private dhe bankat e kontrolluara nga jashtë.

Zhvillimi reflekton ndikimin e ndryshimit strukturor në menaxhimin e pasurisë për aktivet e huaja, sipas SIF.

Ndërkohë, katër institucionet kryesore bankare zvicerane përbënin 45% të totalit të bilancit të gjendjes në vitin 2020.

Rritja e Fintech

Shifrat e fundit tregojnë gjithashtu se Zvicra po bëhet një qendër globale për bizneset fillestare që mbështeten në teknologjinë blockchain, kryesisht në sektorin fintech.

Numri i kompanive të tilla u rrit nga 842 në 2019 në 1,128 në 2021, dhe përbënte pak më shumë se 6,000 punonjës.

Së fundi, investimet totale kapitale të siguruesve zviceranë u rritën në 579.5 miliardë CHF (611.4 miliardë dollarë) në 2020 nga 490.6 miliardë CHF në 2010, raportoi SIF.
