US EditionSwiss Inflation Turns Negative for First Time in Four Years
- Switzerland's consumer price index fell 0.1% year-over-year in May 2025, marking the first negative inflation rate since early 2021.
- This negative inflation follows a trend of disinflation and coincides with expectations that the Swiss National Bank will cut interest rates at its June 19, 2025 meeting.
- Core inflation slowed to 0.5%, domestic inflation eased to 0.6%, and services inflation dropped to 1.1%, reflecting steady easing across price measures.
- Analysts forecast one more 25 basis point SNB rate cut to reach a 0.00% policy rate, though further easing beyond June depends on significant economic slowdown.
- This deflationary signal suggests the Swiss economy has moderated inflation pressures but maintains resilience, influencing monetary policy decisions in the near term.
