Lugano, February 16th 2022
Today Switzerland has decided with rationality, responsibility and pragmatism, typical of this country, to get out of the COVID emergency situation and to return to live, work and freedom.
We have lived two difficult years, a period that we will remember for a long time, an extraordinary event that is having an impact on everyone and everything, individuals, companies, institutions, and has changed our way of living. People, the economic system and the companies suffered an unexpected event with economic and social repercussions that we will have to manage for a long time.
A unique experience that Switzerland has lived with strength and determination, on the one hand by strengthening and organizing the health system, on the other by implementing extraordinary and effective measures to support people and categories of companies that have suffered most in this period. Last but not least by informing in a careful and rational way, always guaranteeing fairness of opinions.
Today Switzerland is stronger than before, with a social and economic system that has withstood the impact of the pandemic well and is ready to restart.
This is demonstrated by the IMD World Competitiveness Rankings 2021 research which sees Switzerland first in the world rankings for the first time in 33 years.
