Country comparison
KOF Barometer by Country
The KOF Economic Barometer is a Swiss leading indicator compiled monthly by the KOF Swiss Economic Institute. It aggregates roughly 200 series into a single composite designed to lead Swiss GDP growth.
Why compare KOF Barometer across countries?
Because the SNB's policy framework is heavily growth- and currency-driven rather than inflation-targeting in the conventional sense, the KOF reading is a meaningful CHF input. Sharp drops increase the case for SNB easing or further FX intervention.
How to read the country list
Watch the level relative to the long-run mean (100) and the direction over three to six months.
