Switzerland traditionally maintains a liberal business environment.
Companies doing business in our country enjoy an open and dynamic
business environment marked by economic freedom and low taxes.
This is one of the reasons why Switzerland regularly ranks high
in international comparisons.
For example, Switzerland ranks 4th globally and 1st in Europe
in the Cato
Institute Economic Freedom of the World 2004 Annual Report.
The
Heritage Foundation Wall Street Journal Index of Economic
Freedom for 2005 ties Switzerland and the U.S. at 12th place.
