Switzerland

Schweiz

12 plates of official data, 2006-2026

Every number comes from the institution that publishes it — the Federal Statistical Office, the Swiss National Bank, the Federal Finance Administration and Swiss Customs, with Eurostat, the BIS, World Bank, IMF and UNDP for comparable series. Every plate is regenerated from committed CSVs, so chart and number cannot drift apart. Swiss and harmonised definitions sit beside one another but are never spliced into an invented history.
