For 4th Quarter
Swiss industrial production grew 9.1% from the prior year in the 4th quarter, beating expectations of an 8.2% increase. This was slower than growth in the 3rd quarter, which fits the pattern around the world as the 4th quarter saw major economies cool. The better than expected results did little to stem the Franc's losses today to the Dollar, Euro and Pound as these currencies recovered in the face of improved investor sentiment. The Franc had been gaining as a result of investor flight to safe haven destinations in a bout of risk aversion. |

| Swiss industrial production rebounded in the second quarter. Over the same period last year, the output level increased 9.8%. Durable and consumer goods orders drop up industrial production. The Swiss franc's weakness, especially against the euro, has also boosted export sales which in turn demanded higher production. | |||||
