SERX - Swiss Economy Reputation Index

The Swiss Economy Reputation Index (SERX), which is currently made up of 157 private sector and state-related companies, shows on a consolidated basis how the public perception of the Swiss economy and its key sectors has developed over time.

Due to the sedimented accounting method (Sedimented Reputation Index®) and the broad valuation basis determined on a daily basis (an average of around 20,000 reputation-relevant public contributions are calculated per day on a sedimented basis), SERX is a valid indicator of the public acceptance of the Swiss economy and its central sectors.

Corona crisis leads to fundamentally different assessment perspective

Current issue: SERX 1/2020

Public perception of the Swiss economy in the first quarter of 2020 is entirely marked by the Corona crisis, especially since the measures imposed by the Federal Council at the end of February 2020 (ban on events) and the proclamation of the "extraordinary situation" on 16 March.

In contrast to the financial crisis of 2008, this time it is not economic upheavals (such as the bursting of the real estate bubble in the USA) that are at the origin of the crisis, but a global health crisis manifesting itself due to the coronavirus, and only afterwards the resulting fear of the economic consequences.
