Gross savings as % of GDP NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS

Overview
Switzerland's gross savings stood at 32.66% in 2025, a rise of +0.84% from 2024. The IMF projects 32.66% by 2025. Switzerland ranked 20th globally.
Switzerland’s gross savings rate stood at 32.66 percent in 2025, placing the country twentieth in the global ranking and just below peers such as Aruba (33.12 percent) and Bahrain (32.58 percent). The Swiss saving propensity has declined steadily since the early 2000s, falling from an all‑time peak of 41.03 percent in 2006 to a trough of 29.01 percent in 2008, before hovering in the low‑ to mid‑30s for the subsequent decades. Over the 49‑year series from 1977, when the rate was 34.35 percent, the downward trajectory reflects structural shifts toward higher household consumption, a strong services sector and modest fiscal consolidation. The modest rebound after the 2008 trough suggests resilience, yet the persistence of a rate below the historical peak indicates limited room for further compression of current‑account deficits. Future trends will likely depend on demographic ageing, pension reforms and the balance between private consumption and investment, which could either stabilise the current level or prompt a modest upward shift.
