The Swiss balance of payments is made up of a large number of individual items. The most important are the trade balance (goods exchange with foreign countries), the balance of services ( service -Share), the investment income account (external movement of capital income) and capital account (movement of financial capital).

In terms of trade balance, Switzerland almost regularly showed double-digit export surpluses between 2008 and 2012. This is in contrast to the 1990s, when either only single-digit surpluses or even single-digit deficits were written. In 2008 to 12, however, there were comfortable surpluses above all in the balance of services, which includes tourism, but also e.g. B. Includes banking services. The investment income balance also usually closed comfortably positive, as was the case in the 1990s.

As a counter-position to this, the capital account balance in the period from 2008 to 2012 was particularly important: significantly more financial capital was exported from Switzerland than was invested in Switzerland.

The balance of payments balances show a relatively mixed picture, they are partly positive and partly negative.
