Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - Swiss consumers are feeling far more optimistic about the economy than they were in January, the latest quarterly consumer confidence survey shows. The surveys are done every three months by the federal finance department. The April survey shows a 14 point increase in confidence, compared to a 7 point drop in January. Consumers expect to see “a much lower increase in unemployment as well as a stronger positive development of the economy,” the results, published Tuesday 11 May, show.
