Switzerland's CPI in August rose 0.8% year-on-year, higher than July's 0.4%, reaching its highest level since September 2024 and far exceeding all economists' forecasts.
This data is the last inflation report seen before the Swiss central bank's interest rate decision this month; although it was higher than expected, it remains largely consistent with the central bank's forecast for average inflation this quarter, and the rebound in inflation will be welcomed by policymakers.
The data highlights that the weakening Swiss franc is gradually being transmitted to the real economy, while the impact of the Middle East energy shock on Switzerland is relatively mild, with neighboring countries facing more severe cost pressures.
