FX.co ★ Switzerland’s PPI Inches Up; Decline Slows to -0.2% in December

Switzerland's Producer Price Index (PPI) demonstrated a moderate recovery in December 2025, as the rate of decline eased to -0.2%, in comparison to the previous month’s sharper drop of -0.5% in November. The latest data, released on January 20, 2026, indicates a slowdown in the pace at which producer prices are falling, suggesting a potential stabilization amid economic uncertainties.

The month-over-month comparison for December shows a notable improvement, as the PPI's decrease halved from the previous month, marking a key observation in Switzerland's economic performance. The manufacturing sector, generally sensitive to shifts in prices, might find this data encouraging as it suggests a stabilization in price levels that could potentially impact profitability and economic forecasts.

This shift could signal a response to broader global economic conditions affecting input costs. Stakeholders and policymakers will closely monitor these trends to assess if this slight uptick could pave the way for a more sustainable upward momentum in Switzerland’s producer prices in the upcoming months. The next few months will be crucial in determining whether this slowdown in decline represents a new trend or merely a temporary reprieve.
