Banking Barometer 2026

The banking sector makes a significant contribution to the success of the Swiss economy and the country’s financial center and remains robust despite geopolitical uncertainties and heightened financial stability risks. Switzerland is one of the world’s leading financial centers, including the area of cross-border asset management. Overall assets under management by Swiss banks, as well as operating profits, reached record highs in 2025. While banks are struggling with interest margins due to the low-interest-rate environment, commission and service revenue is contributing significantly to this positive trend.
