Sound economic analyses for a successful economic policy

Switzerland is a very successful economy with a high standard of living and low unemployment. The Economic Policy Directorate of the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) provides a scientifically sound basis for informing the Federal Council's economic policy decisions.

As minister of economic affairs and education, I have set myself the following goals: to support free trade, cut red tape and strengthen vocational and professional education and training.
