The Swiss National Bank issued its 2024 direct investment report, revealing that Swiss resident companies repatriated CHF 11 billion from abroad while foreign entities withdrew CHF 83 billion from Switzerland. This net disinvestment was primarily driven by foreign-controlled finance and holding companies reducing their balance sheets, whereas domestically controlled multinationals increased their direct investment abroad by CHF 41 billion. Despite the reduction in capital stocks, income from direct investment abroad rose by 12% to CHF 108 billion, while operational data for multinational enterprises remained largely stable compared to the previous year.
