OBSERVATIONSSwitzerland

witzerland is one of the most liberal and competitive economies in the world and has sustained strong economic ties

with many countries throughout the years. From an investor’s perspective, a safe legal system and perennial stable funda-

mentals, relatively minimal regulations, and the proximity of various research institutions are all justifications to why Switzerland

is a top destination for numerous companies that provide competitive products and services. The situation of Taiwanese

investments in Switzerland has seen little to no change, according to the data provided by the Ministry of Economic Affairs

Investment Commission, between 2017 to 2018, the value of our investments in Switzerland summed up to approximately

$200 million. Moreover, Taiwanese companies such as Delta Electronics, Evergreen Marine Corporation, ASUSTeK Computer,

Microlife Corporation, Acer Incorporated and more have established operation centers that are run by Taiwanese personnel in

Switzerland. The financial industry also plays a huge role in forming the Swiss economic structure, as this industry sees about

212,000 labors composing around 10% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Swiss Financial Industry specializes in

private banking, asset management, and insurance. The stable political and economic environment in Switzerland has won the

trust of its customers. Likewise, as a result of Switzerland's lasting strength in their politics and economics, their low inflation

and interest rates, the Swiss Franc’s representation as an important international reserve currency, the globalization of financial

industries accompanied with effective financial infrastructures, market participants are offered with a more diverse choice in

asset and risk management.
