Economiesuisse, the umbrella organisation of Swiss business, has long criticised the burden of administrative formalities. It commissioned a first \u201cnational red tape barometer\u201d. The survey covers 1,527 companies of all sizes from all of the country\u2019s language regions.<\/p>\n
On Monday 9 November 2026, Economiesuisse published the results of this barometer. Three companies in ten have postponed, scaled back or abandoned projects and investments because of administrative requirements, according to the AWP agency as reported by Allnews.<\/p>\n
The projects affected mainly concern the development of new products and services, investments and apprentice training. Companies cite cumbersome procedures, information requested several times and requirements that differ from one administration to another.<\/p>\n
According to Economiesuisse, the regulatory burden weighs particularly on insurance, pharma and the technology industry.<\/p>\n
