The Swiss KOF Economic Barometer rose to 109.1 in September, beating the consensus forecast of 105.8. ActionForex reported that the index, a leading indicator for the Swiss economy, increased from a revised 107.5 in August, marking a continued strengthening of economic momentum.

The KOF Swiss Economic Institute stated that the barometer remains above its medium-term average, driven by broad improvements in manufacturing, services, and construction. While the outlook remains favorable, indicators for foreign demand and financial services showed some weakness, and employment prospects remained under pressure. This resilience follows recent regional data from September 23, 2026, which showed manufacturing and services growth across major European economies including Germany and France.
