Switzerland's real gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by 0.6% in the
1st quarter of 2013 compared to the previous quarter, after increasing
0.30% in the last quarter of 2012. Positive contributions to growth came
from private consumption, investments in construction and from the
trade balance, whilst investments in machinery and equipment by contrast
decreased. Value added on the production side increased in a number of
sectors during the 1st quarter; particularly in the areas of industry,
the construction and financial sectors and in some non-financial private
and public-sector services. Real GDP rose by 1.1% compared with the 1st
quarter 2012.
