About this indicator

Source	Swiss Federal Statistical Office
Frequency	Trimestral
Release	En torno a uno o dos meses después del periodo de referencia.
What it is	The merchandise trade balance records the value of goods traded between Swiss residents and the rest of the world over a period, measured as the difference between exports and imports. It is published by the Swiss Federal Customs Administration and, on the headline basis, excludes non-monetary gold and valuables.
How it's calculated	It is derived as the difference between the value of goods exports and imports recorded by customs. A positive balance is a surplus and a negative one a deficit. It is expressed in millions of Swiss francs, usually on a seasonally adjusted basis.
Market implications	The external balance is a component of GDP and signals the competitiveness of a strongly export-driven economy (pharmaceuticals-chemicals, watches, machinery). Switzerland runs a large trade surplus that is sensitive to the strength of the franc, which the Swiss National Bank (SNB) watches closely.
Limitations	The figures are not final: each release tends to revise earlier periods. The headline excludes non-monetary gold and valuables, whose flows can be huge, and the weight of the pharmaceutical sector introduces occasional volatility.
