D-MTEC Media Update – Surge in savings and bankruptcies

The D-MTEC experts engage with issues that affect society, the economy and business. The D-MTEC Media Update provides links to recent articles, interviews and commentaries. Yngve Abrahamsen, a researcher at the KOF Swiss Economic Institute, notes increased savings among Swiss people of up to 19% in total volume caused by a lack of spending opportunities. At the same time, his colleagues Heiner Mikosch and Florian Eckert report a rise in Swiss bankruptcies.
