More precisely it should be: “why the world banking system is crumbling down?” The answer is quite obvious.. because banks don’t create anything, nowadays they are mere parasitics entities mostly feeding on people fears, fears that are implemented by the banking system itself.
@@Birthday92sexit’s banking model, which makes this comment just ignorant. Switzerland largest part of it economy is its banking sector. It collapsing is quite literally the model falling apart.
Hello, I have a banking and finance degree in Switzerland. My thesis largely focused on the macroeconomic model of Switzerland. While the banking sector is large in Switzerland, much of the swiss economy focuses on exports. Especially in pharmaceuticals, engineering services, and the like. However, let me give you a rundown of the "failing" swiss economic model. Switzerland has, for a long time, sustained their growth, with their GDP growth rate only falling twice since 2008. However, they have kept unemployment below 5% since 2008, and inflation below 2% until 2020, and has been decreasing since. They have been, quite frankly, a statement of stability. This video largely aims to capitalize on a common stereotype that people associate with Switzerland, which is that they are sneaky, and its where rich people go to hide their money. To the creator, your video, quite frankly, is spreading false information, encourages biases, and should be taken down. To everyone else, this is your reminder to not believe random people on the internet. Please educate yourself from trusted professionals, and economists if you're interested in these concepts.
hard to believe a country like swisse can have higher gdps per capita than the united states and better wages based on their industries. it just feels obnoxious to say their economic model will survive other 200 years without being surpassed and their currency lose tons of value. I men how can a country who sells chocolates and watches makes more and pays better than a country who owns microsoft and cocacola? Most people on minimum wage or even better low wages in switzerlabnd like french say they cant live a decent life there and I bet immigration will end very soon in those countries. Even the commodities they have like the gold they have stashed wont make them grow. We are entering the century where fixed dollar assets will lose most of its value. especially with 75% of the money being digital and central banks talking about digital currencies. Even germany will surpass Suisse for their industrial prowess despite being more than undervalued right now based european union currency.
@@ricardomartinhodacruz There's a lot more than chocolates and watches. You might want to look into Roche, Nestle and generally the pharma and engineering the country has. And yes, the US has bigger and more influential companies. But the US has 340 mil people and Switzerland has 8.7 mil. Switzerland obviously cannot compete in absolute terms but this changes quickly when you look at things per capita.
The banking sector makes up less than 10% of the Swiss economy. Yet watching this video gives the impression that the whole Swiss economy revolves around its banks, like the Cayman Islands.
Refuse... 1) CBDC 2) Internet of bodies 3) Digital ID, and 4) Inclusion. 5) Exerices free market 6) 7) Sell ESG stocks 8) W/draw from ESG banks 9) Defund UN, ESG, etc through legislation.
Roughly 10% of the US GDP is from the spending of Federal government, yet if that goes away or severely reduced then the US economy would suffer greatly. Same would apply if the Swiss banking sector goes thru a serious upheaval.
@@HidyoX are you srrly saying that the feds are good for fair industry trade and entrepreneurship? instead of the feds make things unfair and facilitate the creation of monopolies that prey on the population which isnt smart enough to boycott. The feds are these entities proxy
The Swiss is a large exporter of Watches, Food, Pharmaceutical Lroducts, Machinery, etc. They also are very good in the Tech sector, Professional Services, Insurance, Engineering, etc. Switzerland also received a lot of tourists relative to the size of its economy. So Switzerland will be just fine.
Their products are made majority abroad, it's like US before it was based but now its all made in abroad for massive production and cheap labor costs. If its made at their own respective country, it wouldn't produced as cheap and saves the company's overheads including labor costs.
@@codelessunlimited7701 Wrong. Many of Swiss products are high value added goods. Pharmaceutical products cannot be easily shifted fo poor countries because poor countries don't have the technology as well as the expertise to produce pharmaceutical products. The same thing for machinery. Why do you think China imports so much machinery from rich countries? Swiss watches are 90% built in Switzerland because Swiss watches are high end products. Nestle biggest factory is still in Vevey, Switzerland. So you have all your facts wrong. Also the Swiss are also very good in the Tech Sector, Insurabce, Professional Services, Engineering, Tourism, etc. These are not jobs that can be transferred to another country. As far as the US is concerned, the problem with the US is they built low quality and low cost cars that can easily be produced elsewhere. Eventhough Germany has high wages, their car company still produced the majority of their cars in Germany which is why they are still the 3rd largest exporter in the world despite their strong currency and high wages. The US also has a ridiculous amount of labor laws & business regulations unlike Germany & Japan or even Switzerland. Why would any business want to invest in an anti business country? If they have the money, it is much better to just invest elsewhere.
@@secrets.295 😊it's so lovely finding Europeans so smug as always, getting mad when your heralded greatness is questioned and doubted, denying, denying. You're just like the Chinese centuries ago, so smug that they stopped listening anything other than their own ways.....or American factory workers who thought they had made it or one American intellectual who flat out claimed history was over and the winner was obvious. So Mr Secrets, it's not a secret (or so I thought) that the Chinese simply focused on what they could do better, a basic principle in economics. Likewise, as time goes and things change, Europeans will lose machinery market to an unpredictable extent, an extent that the collective west is always pushing to rise. It may be a secret for you that both the Chinese and Indians are already capable of space travel. Yes, yes, I know, it's just crap, just copying western superior technology, etc. But Europeans do need to always remind everybody of the greatness of your products, otherwise people abroad realize it's a bunch of rip off and stop buying. As good as your products may be, it's no match for Asian products. I'm sure Mercedes-Benz are more comfortable than Asian cars, but their maintenance is troublesome. A regular Asian car does its job, costs far less in both sale price and maintenance. A Rolex is strictly to show off. So, yeah, Europeans do need to keep customers brainwashed. Else, you're going bankrupt.
Some economists have projected that parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.
A 2022 Northwestern Mutual study found that 75% of European adults admit their financial planning needs improvement. However, only 29% of Swiss work with a financial advisor.
Very correct; the bear market has contributed significantly to the growth of my investment. I was able to quickly increase my portfolio from $180K to $572K. Essentially, I was just doing as my financial advisor instructed. You're good to go as long as you get competent assistance.

Every country has its flaws and problems. However unlike some other European countries, Switzerland does not have to be afraid since they are a very innovative, resourceful and educated country. It's only the bankers that need to be afraid.
Trust me, banks are usually not that popular by swiss people. They act like private companies but can‘t bankrupt like them because they basicly held citizens and companies money hostage. Ask the avarage swiss about the swissair grounding and ubs. Or the UBS rescue in 2008 or Credit Suisse in 2023. Plus with all those controversial stuff… I don‘t think they are worse then most other banks I just don‘t like the banking industry. People who pay out bonus after bonus but when the company fails they don‘t have to feel responsible. It‘s just a giant shitshow.
I’m an expat living in Switzerland and can tell you even if it declines 50% it’ll still be better than every single other European country to live in and the USA
The Swiss banking sector is much smaller than people believe. It only makes up a small percentage of GDP, even compared with the UK. There are other sectors that generate more wealth for Switzerland: Commodities Trade, Pharmaceuticals, tech industry, etc. You also should not forget that Switzerland simply just has enormous wealth that serves as a stabilizer. Despite the banks going downhill for 15 years, the GDP and private wealth only went up.
@@freeone69 it’s still the world‘s biggest offshore center and UBS still still the world‘s biggest wealth manager with 5 trillion assets under management.
@@tobiwan001 bcuz it had to absorb CS trash too. ubs isnt doing good either. look at ubs share price. when it goes down ch goes down. the national bank doesnt have the capacity to bail it out. from too big to fail to too big to bail. however u look at it this was a massive disaster. i heard that 400 banks went bankrupt since 2010 or so.
@@freeone69 400 in Switzerland? I think the number of banks went down from almost 400 to 250 but not through bankruptcy and they were tiny old private banks. the sector shrank slowly but overall it had no impact on wealth in Switzerland. Incomes went up, debt went down. Swiss banks are wealth managers and therefore there business was and is mainly commissions. By balance sheet Credit Suisse was not a large bank. In fact while SVB was the 16th largest bank in the US, Credit Suisse was only the 17th largest in Europe. From what I have heard and read, UBS - which had been the largest wealth manager before this acquisition - will likely spin off Credit Suisse Bank in Switzerland, shut down investment banking in the US and UK and absorb wealth management in Asia. Whether it’s too big to save is questionable. The SNB balance sheet was up to twice that of Credit Suisse and Switzerland has very little public debt.
@@tobiwan001 cant compare a bank in the US to a CH bank. the outflow of assets from Ch is huge for a small country like this. the impact will be felt for generations. eurozone is no exception. the colonialists are on the defense now. u may not feel it but ur grandkids will. the reputational damage alone is enough. the stats say the opposite of what u describe. the financial sector is in shambles. the exports are doing well for now.
I must always laugh when I check out those videos about Switzerland. They just have no clue about the strengths of this country. Sure, it's better to have a strong banking system and I admit that the size of UBS vs. the Swiss GDP has become worrysome since the taking over of Credit Suisse. Anyway, Switzerland leads the world for the 12th year in a raw according to the Global Innovation Index, far ahead of the US. It's 7th or 8th in the world for many years in new brevets, before large countries such as UK and Italy. In addition, it's a very well managed country with ca. 30% debt ratio to GDP, the lowest of western economies. This year the state budget will be very close to be balanced. The political system is very stable with no such anger from the population as we see in a lot of developed countries. There was no quantative easing after 2007-8 financial crisis. We had some quantitative easing to support businesses during the pandemic, but there was a tightening since and it came back to normal trend, so there is a lot less inflation and inflation pressure than most developed countries. So, there is one major reason to put your money in a bank in Switzerland (however maybe not UBS) : the Swiss franc will continue to raise vs. other main currency. Euro is at a historical low, USD are close to that point and will continue to fall due to their public debt and high inflation. I prefer to have my spared money in Swiss francs. I think I will be long dead before Switzerland collapse called by many youtube amateurs will take place.
Thanks for the information. Really valuable insights. I have a question: Aside from the Swiss Francs, what other currencies you think might last longer or as long as the Swiss Franc?
@@tunisian_stats I'm more of an optimist, especially since summer kicked in my country (I'm a Sun lover). So even if every country is falling apart, for me it means no country is falling apart. We're falling together so we'll solve it together.
Nah, pretty much every country around the globe is falling apart rn, different reasons for each, but we are headed towards a world wide crisis that will last the next couple decades, this doesn't necessarily mean war although there are quite a few war like conflicts but we are reaching the end of just how far fiat money and technology can pave over the underlying societal problems we face.
don't you ever dare to criticize Switzerland, my favorite country :) But honestly, Switzerland is more, than its banking system. The best about Switzerland is its political system and its people. It is a bottom up society, very decentralized and with long standing tradition of independence and autonomy. People can decide many things via referendums, instead of government telling, what to do and how to think.
If Switzerland is so "bottom up", the fact that they didn't allow women's vote until 1971 tells us that it's population is extremely backwards, doesn't it?
@@xyyx1091 Sure, what's wrong with low taxation? The debt ratio to GDP is 30%, this year budget is likely to be breakeven, so we don't spend more than we earn, thus no need to raise our taxes. It's just good and sound management, unlike most developed countries.
@@sandymilne224 I'm not sure to understand what you exactly mean. As I mentioned in my comment, Switzerland, after the covid years during which they have indeed spent more than they earned, for the first times in decades, they are managing to break even this year and positive in the years to come to reimburse the additional debt created during covid. Anyway, with a debt ratio of 30% to GDP and an economy that is groeing slowly but steadily, covid or not covid, there is enough room to sustain a small deficit without having to raise taxes.
I would advise you seek professional assistance because creating a strong financial portfolio is more difficult... This will enable you to receive methods catered to your own long-term objectives and financial aspirations.
Making touch with financial advisors like Naomi who can assist you restructure your portfolio would be a very creative option. Personal financial management will be crucial to navigating the next difficult times.
Okay, I thought this video was about why the Swiss economy was in bad shape. In reality, this video only talks about the banking sector which is not significantly larger than in other countries. It is mainly the export industries (pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry, microtechnology, industrial electricity, industrial technology, watchmaking, etc.) that make money in Switzerland. The most powerful companies in the country are not companies that have relocated to Switzerland for tax purposes but companies that were created by Swiss people from the start (Nestlé, Novartis, Roche, ABB, MSC, etc.) and the success of these industrial companies is not linked to the success of the financial sector. Moreover, Switzerland remains one of the most important commodity trading centres in the world despite the collapse of Credit Suisse, which means that the collapse of the banking sector does not mean the collapse of the financial sector. And in particular, the collapse of the banking sector does not mean the collapse of such a diversified economy
What a bunch of croc. Sitzerland has the best universities in all of continental Europe. It is consistantly ranked as the most competitive country in the world, has one of the highest GDPs on the planet, one of the strongest currencies in the world, its currecy continues to strenghen against the dollar (since 1971 over 500%!!), aganst the Euro, the GBP and the Yen. Notice a pattern? Switzerland is the only country on the planet with a true, direct democracy where the people actually have a say in their destiny, has the second highest life expectency on the planet, the highest prodution of patents per capita and produces more than TWICE the patents per capita than the second ranked country Sweden per year. Just think about that for a second. More than TWICE as many patents per capita per year as the number two nation in the world! Patents are one of the key drivers of GDP! You say how unbelievably important banking is to the Swiss "economic model", which effectively demonstrates how little you understand about that country. The whole financial sector in Switzerland is approx 10% of GDP. However, the Swiss include the huge Insurance business in that 10%. If you delve a bit deeper into Swiss economic statistics, you discover that the actual banking industry is only approx. 5% of Swiss GDP. However, in your video, you use that small 5% sliver to predict the future demise of the "Swiss economic model" and its wealth. Big mistake. I have bad news for you: the Swiss economic model is just fine, thank you. Its prospects are fabulous and it still is - and will continue to be - vastly more successful than any EU or OECD country. Most EU and OECD countries (including the US of A) will continue to fall further behind Switzerland over the next decades, while Switzerland will continue to propser and increase the well-being for its citizens. An example of an actually failed state amongst the G7 and in the EU - just for good measure, you ask? Italy has produced a total combined GDP growth from 2005 to 2021 for its citizens of how much?? Yup:. a big, fat ZERO. ZILCH. NOTHING. 16 years of solid failure and stagnation. Loss of wealth. No progress. No future. No economic model to speak of. Just all encompassing, national, economic failure. Now THER'Es a country your titel would actually apply to since decades! Italy's failure also affects way more people as well. Can we expect a video on the massive failed states of the EU and the OECD anytime soon, or is your focus an bogus stories on the "falling apart" of the Swiss economic model just so time and resource consuming? 😂😂 Or perhaps your're being paid for nonsensical, politically manipulating videos to distract from the actual national failures? BTW: How much has Switzerland's GDP grown during that same period as Italy? Yup: 53%. Now suddenly, Italy has had two years of growth. Why? Because it has received 257 BILLION!! Euros in political ransom from the European money printing presses (for not leaving the Euro) to "invest in the green future". Haha. 🤣😂 If you take that princly sum of printed political ransom out of the GDP calculation, Italy still has ZERO growth, while Switzerland consistantly produces actual, real growth and prosperity decade over decade. Are you perhaps starting to get the REAL economic picture, or are you politically just too fixated on the Swiss banking industry myth you're cultivating in you video? 🤣🤣
No doubt, The Swiss people have an insane accuracy reputation and come by it quite honestly - However, what this Vid points out is how it will be disrupting their economy from within. The Banking Industry and its 'product' has a very different effect on things when something catastrophic occurs with them - Their disruption is Your disruption. Period.
Switzerland has been my favorite country since I first visited in 1969. Even as a kid, I knew it was very special. As a person who admires quality, cleanliness, craftsmanship, beauty and class, for the individual who works with their hands there is no place better on Earth! The Swiss people are very smart, educated, elegant and hard working. I began working with Swissair in 1987, and learned how to do things right. Overall, I term Switzerland, "A culture of quality". With that being said, not everything by any measure is perfect. Swissair went out of business in 2003 after 71 years of what many argue was the world's best airline. Why? EU consolidation with the introduction of the Euro into neighboring countries, excessive debt and overreach by its executives to maintain and expand market share. The culture of quality remains but I am seriously concerned what will happen if Europe falls apart due to lack of energy, destabilization, serious harmful influences by the World Economic Forum, the EU and US, which certainly have not helped Switzerland in the least. To me, should Central Bank Digital currencies be forced upon Western Civilization, I believe firmly that freedom will be erased, and all of Western society slowly crumble into chaos. People are not going to allow governments, meant to serve them, force them into virtual, digital slavery!
Yeah I completely agree with you. However, as Switzerland has always been innovative, they are playing with the idea of cryptocurrencies, which have the potential to fight against those CBDC's, and to gain back the model of privacy Switzerland was famous before...
Because globally we are going through technological phases that not a lot of countries are prepared for.. We should be worried if we do not figure out how to adopt AI in governmental structures.

That's the banking model, as the vid explained Switzerland also is well industrialized with good transportation infrastructure. But the banking model is dead in the water now, considering the US/EU demand their citizens' banking information (in the future one can imagine China, India, ASEAN, etc demanding as well), and the rest of the world can no longer trust the Swiss with their money now their neutrality is dead- today it's the Russians, but tomorrow it could be the Saudis, Chinese, Indians, Nigerians, Brazilians, etc. getting targeted by the US, and other organizations (drug cartels, terrorist organizations, etc) also naturally won't feel safe there anymore.
@@Thanatar13 Secrecy is not everything. Stability and strong currency are important as well. I prefer to put my savings in Swiss francs, although maybe not at UBS.

I think there are some mistakes in this video. 1. claim: 1:09 Poor mini regions constantly fighting with each other. response: There was some minor fighting, but overal Switzerland had been a rather peaceful place for around 300 years How to verify: You can look in wikipedia for wars involving Switzerland and there will be barely anything between mid 15 hundreds and Napoleon. 2. claim: 2:08 Banking Secrecy Response: Banking Secrecy was established in 1934, after germany started confiscating jewish property. This can not explain why the Swiss banking sector would have been successful in the 19th century, far before that. How to verify: "Banking in Switzerland" wikipedia 3. claim: 8:22 If the megabank would collapse it would take the entire country along with it response: The financial sector represents 9 to 10% of the Swiss economy, this includes both banks and insurance companies. This new mega bank combining CS and UBS is around half of that. Loosing 5% of the economy is bad, but not taking the entire country down and likely not all the business will vanish, but rather transition to other banks. source: official swiss goverment page title "Banks and insurance companies"

That's old news and already priced in the relative positioning of Switzerland. Yes, some old revenue sources have dried up, but Switzerland has successfully moved on and has remained on top. Most importantly, compared to the problems other western economies face, Switzerland looks relatively well. So money will still migrate towards it in times of crisis. There's no better alternative. Simple as that.
Not really, nowadays the financial sector makes less than 10% of GDP, and that includes the massive insurance sector which is massive both domestically and internationally. Plus UBS and CS are well known as they are the international banks, but until their "fusion", they were eclipsed by Raiffeisen, a domestic cooperative banks, and had been losing the domestic market to that and many other domestic banks ever since 2008. Also prior to banking Switzerland's economy has been grounded in high added value industries tied to innovation, of which watchmaking was one of the precursors, along with a globalized textile industry as early as the XVIIIth century.

Our economy is fine thank you. Our economy is not based on banks alone, we have plenty of other things we produce and do. The State banks here are very good and stable. I have my money in one of them. Just because of what happened with Credit Suisse doesn’t mean our country will suddenly fail. There is more to our country than just banks.
I'd say the bigger problem is the economic troubles of Switzerland's neighbors, which will have an effect on Swiss exports, tourism to Switzerland and so on.
@@artman12 sorry but to be the “Switzerland of an area” is not just about geography. It is about the economy and peace within the nation.

Botswana and Rwanda are similar in that regard. Guinea and Uganda are far from economically successful and aren’t exactly that peaceful, especially compared to some of their neighbours
Swiss taxes are an average of 40% - up/down: depending on WHICH canton - State - one lives.... - Zurich = one of the highest // ZUG / SCHWYZ = are the lowest...! = info by a Swiss native... Mad.
What goes under the radar is that swiss military industry is blowing up, they made 3 times more money than last year which compensates some of the banking losses and it benefits somewhat Switzerland's government that CS fell down because UBS' biggest shareholder is the Swiss National Bank and with UBS acquiring CS, the SNB now also controls CS

They all pay Taxes in Switzerland. Although banking makes up a significant amount of our Economy, It wouldn't be too big of a setback if it starts to fail for the economy
I think you overstate the importance of the banks. The entire financial services industry is only about 10% of the economy , and that includes the whole (re)insurance sector. Think about manufacturing - Nestle, ABB etc and all of the drug companies as well as the tech sector etc. I think that the Swiss economy is much better placed to prosper than many others in Europe, such as that of the UK.
The ingenious way in which Switzerland handled the Credit Suisse crisis has increased the confidence of many investors. No comparison with other countries, which tend to act helplessly. It made it possible to carry out a strategically sensible merger that would not have been possible under normal circumstances. UBS will become one of the 10 largest banks in the world. The other banking centres are suffering from indebted states and weak currencies. An investment in Swiss francs brings a return of 10% if only the currency gains are taken into account.
Relocated last year. Just the Value appreciation of CHF alone seems to increase my salary by 10% per year if converted to €. EU is falling apart thats for sure.
In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.
Despite utilizing the correct strategies and possessing the right assets, there can still be variations in the investment returns among different investors. It is important to acknowledge that experience plays a crucial role in investment success. Personally, I realized the significance of this and sought the guidance of a market analyst, which enabled me to substantially grow my account to nearly a million. I strategically withdrew my profits just before the market correction, and now I am taking advantage of the buying opportunities once again.

If there’s a country that will survive everything it’s Switzerland. Doesn’t get better than a direct democracy and proper economic liberalism. I suggest you read the book “The Swiss Labyrinth” to be correctly informed. IT’S NOT FALLING APART 😂
"Why Switzerland's Economic Model Is Falling Apart" is a wrong title for this video. The economic system that made and is still making Switzerland so rich is based on economic freedom, or liberalism. It's obvious that the Swiss banks are clearly in trouble, but the stability and prosperity of this country is far away to be broken up.
The Swiss banking sector is not as big as the envious foreigners use to nurture their prejudices about Switzerland. It makes only ca. 12% of Swiss GDP.
12% is the entire financial sector in Switzerland including insurance business. The banking sector is only about 5% of GDP and the majority of this is for domestic banking.
This social media gets uglier. To get attention such a headline!! I have been living in Switzerland for years, I have seen many countries. Swiss people did a really good job. Without energy export, they make +10% of their gdp of current account surplus. What are you talking about 😀. They have an incredible solid economy. One banks goes one bank comes who cares it as long as your core engine is strong.
Switzerland is #1 in Innovation rankings, before USA and before Singapore. Swiss precise manufacturing and high tech industries are highly competitive. Switzerland is 5th largest investor in the USA, that is huge for a small county, creating jobs in the USA. Banking is just one part of CH. US and many international companies are selecting CH as their European headquarter. Switzerland is yet better today as it ever was, while most western countries around are lagging behind in infrastructure. Swiss people have a sense for the practical things in life and are rather realistic. That brings stability and continuous development in a world of instability. Each year, thousands of new immigrants from EU are coming to work in Switzerland. They like a life with prospects, development and freedom.
Yeah, that's not happening. Unless you believe Russia is pulling out of Ukraine in that time, or that Ukraine will push the Russians out of the country, which is quite possible. But even if they do that, things will not go back to the way they were prior to the invasion.
9:35 The banking sector is not an *extremely important* part of the Swiss economy. This is a common misconception about the Swiss banking industry. It ouly counts for around 10% of the Swiss economy.
Actually, the banking industry only accounts for approx. 5% of the Swiss GDP. The other 5% of "financial products and services ' are in fact the entire, huge insurance products and services, which in their own right are world class as well.
Reading the comments here, this situation in CH hasn't been explained well at all or even misrepresented. I learnt more from the comments than the video.
😂 The Swiss miracle has not much to do with its banking system or neutrality. Rather, it is our love for innovation. Also we enjoy stability thanks to our direct democracy, which you totally failed to even mention. I give your video a 4/10.
There are many reasons indeed and the question is whether it is Banking that made Switzerland or Switzerland that made Banking. I.e. nobody (well to an extent) stopped other countries to offer good banking services. The local mentality played a very important part even in the Banking industry alone. The mentality in turn was formed by the geography etc..etc..etc.
No wonder that Switzerland has become so rich: it made business, while the other countries all around made war; reinvests (cleverly) its profits, instead of spending them on fighting (from which only warmongers really took advantage). The rule of thumb and goal in the dominant socio-economic order being capital accumulation; it is not so astonishing it became prominent as a heaven of peace. Yet, now that the last (and hopefully final) crisis of the capitalism is surging fast; it is not so surprising that the paramount beneficiaries (not solely Switzerland but also even more visibly, Sweden as for European continent) abandon their age old wise approach and join the mortal struggle for the continuation of rather hopeless order which have not only witnessed, but also promoted their ascent and very much wealth.
I deem that video very misleading and inaccurate. Spreading such wrong information is not very helpful. The "message" supposedly is: Switzerland is only rich due to the banking secrecy and due to hording gold from WW2. As now the banking secrecy does not exist anymore and Credit Suisse collapsed, Switzerland lost most of its economic power. This is a very limited and one-dimensional view. Correct is: yes, Switzerland did use the advantage of not getting attacked during WW2 and did not need to rebuild the economy afterwards (while a lot of countries in Europe had to). Switzerland could profit in continuing with a functioning economy after WW2 and due to having a stable economy, a lot of money/gold was stored during WW2. Yes, Switzerland did trade with Germany during the time of WW2, but it is not the gold from these times which made Switzerland rich. It is also not the banking secrecy, even though it was one of multiple factors which encouraged people to have a Swiss bank account. As the Swiss Franc as well as the Swiss economy is very stable, people are still very keen in putting their wealth into Swiss accounts. The collapse of Credit Suisse is very unfortunate, but the reason is not due to flawed banking processes, but due to greedy (predominantly Anglo-Saxon) managers which squeezed over a decade the bank like a lemon, taking billions of francs of paid out bonuses. The core reason for all this mess is a heavy mismanagement on top management level (C level), taking no responsibility, only interested in short term profits. More Swissness and less of an Anglo-Saxon management style would have avoided such a disaster. That is why UBS is also far more successful, as they do not engage in this high level of risk taking, as Credit Suisse did. Further reasons why the Swiss Economic model is not falling apart: Switzerland is part of the "blue banana", it has many large profitable companies in different industries (technology: ABB, food: Nestlé, Reinsurance: Swiss Re, luxury goods: Richemont, financial industry: UBS, pharmaceutical industry: Novartis and many, many more), the country has a very entrepreneurial spirit and encourages entrepreneurship, it has (still) quite a good educational system (a "dual education system" to generate well educated professionals), political and financial stability (therefore encouraging also foreign companies to have subsidiaries or even headquarters in Switzerland, like for example Google), it is very tax friendly for companies to reside in Switzerland, there is a large pool of well-educated human capital available, the transportation system is well organized and allows efficient logistics, Swiss products are in many cases of superior quality (not only talking of gadgets/goods like watches, but also of machines and infrastructure requiring engineering capabilities), therefore "Swiss Quality" acts as a selling argument, etc. As one can see, there are many, many reasons why Switzerland's economic model was and still will remain successful also in the years to come. My list is not even complete, there are further reasons I could count up, but it should get apparent, that WW2 gold and a banking secrecy does not do the "trick".
As a Swiss I'm quite greatful for this video telling me that the economy in my country is falling apart. I'd never have found that out by looking at how I, or any of my family and friends working in different places and domains are doing. Also the media is not talking about it, neither leaders in politics, economy or even trade unions... gotta be on the lookout for that crisis.
In the meantime, the US Congress is playing roulette with the US Debt Ceiling and putting the global banking system and world’s economy in jeopardy. Just recognizing the elephant in the room.
There is nothing wrong with Switzerland but I rather get the impression that you are using Switzerland 🇨🇭 flag to promote your skill share product. Nothing is going down in Switzerland except skier ⛷️ on mountain slope.
I recognize Lausanne with its cathedral and the Leman lac( or Geneva lac) a couple of time Interesting how Lausanne was beautiful before and now turning more and more into a wokness Hell with the Left managing it
It has not been that way for centuries… up until mid 1900s Switzerland was the poor house of Europe… huge misconception… ask any old Swiss person about their childhood and they will tell you about hunger and hardship
If only the rest of the world was as good as Switzerland, I have cycled around the whole country, its beautiful clean high standards and nice friendly people, I have travelled to quite a lot of countries but Switzerland is still my favourite hot summers and snowy winters everything works as it should, an upmarket smaller efficient Germany with Italian flair and French style what's not to love about it, just wish I could afford to live there 🙄
I don't agree with this video. Banking (without Insurance) is only about 5% of Swiss GDP. While being important, it doesn't make anything fall apart or change any of the other fundamentals.
Why does the world allow this small minority of Banksters to control the world's credit supply, award themselves massive bonuses and risk the economy? There must be a better way to run the economy.

You don't adress the causes of Swiss Miracle, that is the education. Switzerland is the first country for innovation in the world, the country with the highest rate of Nobel prices, like Albert Einstein. Switzerland is in the top ratings of Human Development, Hapyness, life expectancy. The highest attractive country for foreigners (25% of population), 350000 people cross the border every day to work in Switzerland. The integration of foreigners is very good : in the canton de Vaud (capital Lausanne) the president of the government is of greek origin, 2 are from spanish origin one from Italy, all second generation. In the Federal gove government 2 out of 7 minister have a father peasant, one is a wine maker, the social elevator works very well.The bank is now 9-10% of Internal Revenue. So imagine that the end of the bank secrecy will be the end of the swiss economy is not true.
Ok so your argument is that: 1. Swiss banking transparency is a problem (for whom exactly?) and, 2. One bank crashing (among how many that melted down in the rest of the world) is significant how? Considering Switzerland has one of the lowest and controlled levels of inflation, I think they should be looked at as a model to follow. You may want to base your research and analysis beyond grade school level narrative.
This is a bit misleading clickbaity for a title....not Swiss but am American. It should be "Why Switzerland's Banking Model is Falling Apart". Switzerland the country though? I think they're doing fine still as they always have been.
Being Swiss I want to clarify that Switzerland is doing well. Switzerland did experience an increase in poverty and a decrease in gdp growth, but that was mainly due to covid. Climate change is also having a destructive impact on the economy of regions famous for winter sports, but Switzerland is absolutely not about to collapse. Furthermore the collapse of Credit Suisse, which was a complete embarrassment, did not by any mean signify the end of Swiss banks. Banks work all around the world, even without secrecy and even without anything special. Swiss banks will surely see a decrease in deposits and therefore revenue, but will not collapse. Credit Swiss was one accident, not an undeniable catastrophe. Furthermore Switzerland has international reach, stability and continuous economic development. What makes Switzerland rich is not just banks. We have the second most varied economy in the world, which means that if someone fragment of the economy fails, we have hundreds more. Switzerland is not doing well mostly due to climate change, not to incompetence (which is still very embarrassing and even though I’m a nobody I want to apologise for the mismanagement, especially to the families that saw turmoil being brought in their lives by the collapse of those morons). Take this message as a sign that climate change will always be a greater problem than any episode of mismanagement

You completely forgot to mention that in the 1990s' the US pressured the Swiss banks to give the names of all bank accounts of Jews who had opened bank accounts in Switzerland before the war in 1939. Many were murdered by Germany and after the war Switzerland stole their money. They also depleted the accounts by huge bank fees. The survivors and relatives who forgot the account numbers were refused cooperation. The relatives were requested to give a Death Certificate even if the relatives were murdered at Auschwitz. Germany did not give out Death Certificates for the 6 million that were murdered. There were also non Jews and even Nazis who had bank accounts in Switzerland which were either not claimed or the relatives couldnot have access to them as they did not have the account numbers. The Swiss banks refused to cooperate. The Swiss banks had to pay about $1 billion in fines.
@@secrets.295 You're so right. It has become so cliché and annoying. And which country is flawless looking at its past? Colonialism, slavery, expropriation and partial extermination of origin populations like indians, etc. The world is so jealous of Switzerland success that they have to spoil it as much as they can, not looking at their own failures.
What you overlook is that Switzerland's success is based on how the country is governed. It is a confederation which is governed decentralized and where there is fierce competition between the various cantons in relation to how to govern and tax.
Switzerland is stronger day by day, other economies are fallen apart. You have to put the money in a place with a stable currency. The US dollar and the British pound are constantly losing value against the Swiss franc. In 1960, one US dollar cost 4.50, now it is o.90. 1 pound cost 11 CHF Now about 1 CHF. The euro has lost a third of its value since its introduction. The dramatic currency collapse will intensify in a time of galloping inflation in these countries. Without intervention by the Swiss National Bank in favour of these currencies, the dollar and the pound would be at 0.10. There is no alternative to Switzerland for any dutiful investor.
Switzerland - for centuries - has been one of the wealthiest countries in the world. The video should actually stop right there since such a statement reveals that the people who posted this video have no clue about the history of Switzerland. Why are 11% of the Swiss population living abroad? Historically, Switzerland was one of the poorest agricultural countries in Europe - people had to emigrate to other countries, and due to the lack of an economy outside the family farm which consisted of a few cows and goats - the men had to work as "mercenaries" for the Kings of France and Italy - or the Vatican.
If Switzerland will fall apart let Me Know please!? 😂😂 it works on all levels very good so far!! If whole world will fall - Switzerland will be the last country believe me!!
come on! switzerland is one of the highly diversified, competitive and innovative countries in the world. you yust pick out one singular issue and blow it out! banking in switzerland changed - that's a fact - but didn't disappear. they managed to adapt the new situation. the decline of the CS is a big issue but the reasons are mismanagement and a flawed strategy!
Ok. What about watches, luxury items, medicine, engines and motor parts and the other important sectors of the Swiss economy? Our business is larger than just banks, so this video's title is just clickbait...
around 30 years ago, some Japanese said the same thing, we have semi-conductor, cars, electric gadget, steel- but gradually dying after experiencing of some political failures. One single financial failure (even it is a big topic) won't end the country immediately specially developed countries (I mean you won't starve tomorrow immediately) but gradually kills everybody unless you have courage to face the fundamental problem behind the drama. For Japan- the fundamental issue was cronyism.
No doubt, The Swiss people have an insane accuracy reputation and come by it quite honestly - However, what this Vid points out is how it will be disrupting their economy from within. The Banking Industry and its 'product' has a very different effect on things when something catastrophic occurs with them - Their disruption is Your disruption. Period.
@@george.carlin Ukraine has such a bad fortune with Russia. Majority of Japanese are very empathtic to their sialtuation because Russia was aiming to invade Japan initially not Ukraine but changed target to Ukraine in last min, really last min. from the agenda how they built, i must say Russia had no legit or rational reason to invade Ukraine , just they wanted destroy Ukraine. Ukraine's circumstance is different level.
Hi, hem, the banking in Switzerland is now around… 8% of the country's GDP, so not really a concern - on the other side, it's industry is flourishing and _very_ resilient as it is mostly composed of small (mainly familial) companies exporting _a lot_ , they also very often are world leaders in their branch (Swiss quality isn't an empty formula). The education system has been polished in each and every bit to improve it, mixing between apprenticeship and higher education and much more than that, a very well thought gateway between the both of them to easily allow a former apprentice to come back to long studies or, at the opposite, some graduated people to completely change their kind of work, it is one of the most efficient package of the kind in the world. Notably, is is also a country where several companies are running without a CEO and even without the whole top of the pyramid and even the pyramid itself, using a longitudinal organization - this is a very uncommon thing you don't find everywhere. So, this video is an external view (and very old romantic style but still very wrong) cliché, nothing more (disclaimer : I'm French, not Swiss).
bad reaserched. we have one of the most diversified econemy in the world. the banking system isnt that big anymore then it was once. we can life without it
The good fame of Switzerland backs to the middle ages and owes nothing to the banks. Besides, Switzerland neighbors are four of the most important countries of Europe: France, Germany, Italy and last but not least, Austria. The USA would wish have such neighbors. And the fabulous swiss economy just relies 10 % ond the banking sector. So this bank scandal is just a tiny hiccup in Switzerlands history.
Well, I live in Switzerland for more than 25 years now and agree with your statement besides the last sentence, as the new bank balance sheet represents now 150% of Swiss GDP, where JP Morgan, the largest bank in the world only represents 12% of US GDP. So if there is a problem with UBS one day, there is no way that Switzerland can save it and the impact on Swiss economy would be a disaster. This situation is quite worrysome.
Complete nonsense. Business model from Switzerland was connection from South (Milano) to North (Cologne, Amsterdam) though their Alps Passes and trade. For a long time most inhabitants on countryside are poor (not their counterparts in cities). For centuries Swiss has to offer themselves as mercenaries. This changed only after enveloping a very strict kind of Protestant Religion (Calvin and Zwingli) plus Industrial Revolution and as result from their long lasting Neutrality. Now Switzerland can be blackmailed and pressured from US and EU, now they gave up most of their successful neutrality.
Misleading title: It should be "Why Switzerland's *Banking* Model Is Falling Apart"
You're so right!
Facts
What is Switzerland’s economic model?
More precisely it should be: “why the world banking system is crumbling down?” The answer is quite obvious.. because banks don’t create anything, nowadays they are mere parasitics entities mostly feeding on people fears, fears that are implemented by the banking system itself.
@@Birthday92sexit’s banking model, which makes this comment just ignorant. Switzerland largest part of it economy is its banking sector. It collapsing is quite literally the model falling apart.
Hello, I have a banking and finance degree in Switzerland. My thesis largely focused on the macroeconomic model of Switzerland. While the banking sector is large in Switzerland, much of the swiss economy focuses on exports. Especially in pharmaceuticals, engineering services, and the like. However, let me give you a rundown of the "failing" swiss economic model. Switzerland has, for a long time, sustained their growth, with their GDP growth rate only falling twice since 2008. However, they have kept unemployment below 5% since 2008, and inflation below 2% until 2020, and has been decreasing since. They have been, quite frankly, a statement of stability. This video largely aims to capitalize on a common stereotype that people associate with Switzerland, which is that they are sneaky, and its where rich people go to hide their money. To the creator, your video, quite frankly, is spreading false information, encourages biases, and should be taken down. To everyone else, this is your reminder to not believe random people on the internet. Please educate yourself from trusted professionals, and economists if you're interested in these concepts.
One of the best comment I ever read on internet.
You talked like a nazi. Name calling without giving any facts
You’re exactly right, this blogger I must say doesn’t really know Switzerland and this person paints the picture negatively!
hard to believe a country like swisse can have higher gdps per capita than the united states and better wages based on their industries. it just feels obnoxious to say their economic model will survive other 200 years without being surpassed and their currency lose tons of value. I men how can a country who sells chocolates and watches makes more and pays better than a country who owns microsoft and cocacola? Most people on minimum wage or even better low wages in switzerlabnd like french say they cant live a decent life there and I bet immigration will end very soon in those countries. Even the commodities they have like the gold they have stashed wont make them grow. We are entering the century where fixed dollar assets will lose most of its value. especially with 75% of the money being digital and central banks talking about digital currencies. Even germany will surpass Suisse for their industrial prowess despite being more than undervalued right now based european union currency.
@@ricardomartinhodacruz There's a lot more than chocolates and watches. You might want to look into Roche, Nestle and generally the pharma and engineering the country has. And yes, the US has bigger and more influential companies. But the US has 340 mil people and Switzerland has 8.7 mil. Switzerland obviously cannot compete in absolute terms but this changes quickly when you look at things per capita.
The banking sector makes up less than 10% of the Swiss economy. Yet watching this video gives the impression that the whole Swiss economy revolves around its banks, like the Cayman Islands.
and banking is declining everywhere. Switzerland should diversify exports and send more to Russia Asia be less deoendant on EU USA
It’s also wrong that Credit Suisse ran out of money they had enough it was just the trust of the customers which wasn’t there anymore
Refuse... 1) CBDC 2) Internet of bodies 3) Digital ID, and 4) Inclusion. 5) Exerices free market 6) 7) Sell ESG stocks 8) W/draw from ESG banks 9) Defund UN, ESG, etc through legislation.
Roughly 10% of the US GDP is from the spending of Federal government, yet if that goes away or severely reduced then the US economy would suffer greatly. Same would apply if the Swiss banking sector goes thru a serious upheaval.

The Swiss is a large exporter of Watches, Food, Pharmaceutical Lroducts, Machinery, etc. They also are very good in the Tech sector, Professional Services, Insurance, Engineering, etc. Switzerland also received a lot of tourists relative to the size of its economy. So Switzerland will be just fine.
Global #de-dollarization destroys the purpose of asset management
Their products are made majority abroad, it's like US before it was based but now its all made in abroad for massive production and cheap labor costs. If its made at their own respective country, it wouldn't produced as cheap and saves the company's overheads including labor costs.
@@codelessunlimited7701 Wrong. Many of Swiss products are high value added goods. Pharmaceutical products cannot be easily shifted fo poor countries because poor countries don't have the technology as well as the expertise to produce pharmaceutical products. The same thing for machinery. Why do you think China imports so much machinery from rich countries? Swiss watches are 90% built in Switzerland because Swiss watches are high end products. Nestle biggest factory is still in Vevey, Switzerland. So you have all your facts wrong. Also the Swiss are also very good in the Tech Sector, Insurabce, Professional Services, Engineering, Tourism, etc. These are not jobs that can be transferred to another country.
As far as the US is concerned, the problem with the US is they built low quality and low cost cars that can easily be produced elsewhere. Eventhough Germany has high wages, their car company still produced the majority of their cars in Germany which is why they are still the 3rd largest exporter in the world despite their strong currency and high wages. The US also has a ridiculous amount of labor laws & business regulations unlike Germany & Japan or even Switzerland. Why would any business want to invest in an anti business country? If they have the money, it is much better to just invest elsewhere.
@@YHauz-co But the dollarization destroyed the world economy back in 2008
@@secrets.295 😊it's so lovely finding Europeans so smug as always, getting mad when your heralded greatness is questioned and doubted, denying, denying. You're just like the Chinese centuries ago, so smug that they stopped listening anything other than their own ways.....or American factory workers who thought they had made it or one American intellectual who flat out claimed history was over and the winner was obvious.
So Mr Secrets, it's not a secret (or so I thought) that the Chinese simply focused on what they could do better, a basic principle in economics. Likewise, as time goes and things change, Europeans will lose machinery market to an unpredictable extent, an extent that the collective west is always pushing to rise. It may be a secret for you that both the Chinese and Indians are already capable of space travel. Yes, yes, I know, it's just crap, just copying western superior technology, etc.
But Europeans do need to always remind everybody of the greatness of your products, otherwise people abroad realize it's a bunch of rip off and stop buying. As good as your products may be, it's no match for Asian products. I'm sure Mercedes-Benz are more comfortable than Asian cars, but their maintenance is troublesome. A regular Asian car does its job, costs far less in both sale price and maintenance. A Rolex is strictly to show off.
So, yeah, Europeans do need to keep customers brainwashed. Else, you're going bankrupt.
Some economists have projected that parts of Europe could slip into a recession for a portion of 2023. A global recession, defined as a contraction in annual global per capita income, is more rare because China and emerging markets often grow faster than more developed economies. Essentially the world economy is considered to be in recession if economic growth falls behind population growth.

The Swiss banking sector is much smaller than people believe. It only makes up a small percentage of GDP, even compared with the UK. There are other sectors that generate more wealth for Switzerland: Commodities Trade, Pharmaceuticals, tech industry, etc.
You also should not forget that Switzerland simply just has enormous wealth that serves as a stabilizer. Despite the banks going downhill for 15 years, the GDP and private wealth only went up.

@@freeone69 400 in Switzerland? I think the number of banks went down from almost 400 to 250 but not through bankruptcy and they were tiny old private banks. the sector shrank slowly but overall it had no impact on wealth in Switzerland. Incomes went up, debt went down.
Swiss banks are wealth managers and therefore there business was and is mainly commissions. By balance sheet Credit Suisse was not a large bank. In fact while SVB was the 16th largest bank in the US, Credit Suisse was only the 17th largest in Europe. From what I have heard and read, UBS - which had been the largest wealth manager before this acquisition - will likely spin off Credit Suisse Bank in Switzerland, shut down investment banking in the US and UK and absorb wealth management in Asia.
Whether it’s too big to save is questionable. The SNB balance sheet was up to twice that of Credit Suisse and Switzerland has very little public debt.
@@tobiwan001 cant compare a bank in the US to a CH bank. the outflow of assets from Ch is huge for a small country like this. the impact will be felt for generations. eurozone is no exception. the colonialists are on the defense now. u may not feel it but ur grandkids will. the reputational damage alone is enough. the stats say the opposite of what u describe. the financial sector is in shambles. the exports are doing well for now.
I must always laugh when I check out those videos about Switzerland. They just have no clue about the strengths of this country. Sure, it's better to have a strong banking system and I admit that the size of UBS vs. the Swiss GDP has become worrysome since the taking over of Credit Suisse.
Anyway, Switzerland leads the world for the 12th year in a raw according to the Global Innovation Index, far ahead of the US. It's 7th or 8th in the world for many years in new brevets, before large countries such as UK and Italy.
In addition, it's a very well managed country with ca. 30% debt ratio to GDP, the lowest of western economies. This year the state budget will be very close to be balanced. The political system is very stable with no such anger from the population as we see in a lot of developed countries. There was no quantative easing after 2007-8 financial crisis. We had some quantitative easing to support businesses during the pandemic, but there was a tightening since and it came back to normal trend, so there is a lot less inflation and inflation pressure than most developed countries.
So, there is one major reason to put your money in a bank in Switzerland (however maybe not UBS) : the Swiss franc will continue to raise vs. other main currency. Euro is at a historical low, USD are close to that point and will continue to fall due to their public debt and high inflation. I prefer to have my spared money in Swiss francs. I think I will be long dead before Switzerland collapse called by many youtube amateurs will take place.
Thanks for the information. Really valuable insights. I have a question:
Aside from the Swiss Francs, what other currencies you think might last longer or as long as the Swiss Franc?

Nah, pretty much every country around the globe is falling apart rn, different reasons for each, but we are headed towards a world wide crisis that will last the next couple decades, this doesn't necessarily mean war although there are quite a few war like conflicts but we are reaching the end of just how far fiat money and technology can pave over the underlying societal problems we face.
don't you ever dare to criticize Switzerland, my favorite country :) But honestly, Switzerland is more, than its banking system. The best about Switzerland is its political system and its people. It is a bottom up society, very decentralized and with long standing tradition of independence and autonomy. People can decide many things via referendums, instead of government telling, what to do and how to think.
If Switzerland is so "bottom up", the fact that they didn't allow women's vote until 1971 tells us that it's population is extremely backwards, doesn't it?
They get way way too much snow,
Igloo. It is not worth it. It's at the bottom of my list, really not on it at all.
The Swiss still have great companies and tourism. Not just banks.
And a taxation which attracts companies and individuals from all over the world
@@xyyx1091 Sure, what's wrong with low taxation? The debt ratio to GDP is 30%, this year budget is likely to be breakeven, so we don't spend more than we earn, thus no need to raise our taxes. It's just good and sound management, unlike most developed countries.
@@mottetar I completely agree with you. I meant that Switzerland will always attract people and Companies thanks to a fair taxation.
Fair taxation ONLY comes from a nation that doesn’t spend more than its revenue. Unfortunately, I think Switzerland has already crossed that rubicon.
@@sandymilne224 I'm not sure to understand what you exactly mean. As I mentioned in my comment, Switzerland, after the covid years during which they have indeed spent more than they earned, for the first times in decades, they are managing to break even this year and positive in the years to come to reimburse the additional debt created during covid. Anyway, with a debt ratio of 30% to GDP and an economy that is groeing slowly but steadily, covid or not covid, there is enough room to sustain a small deficit without having to raise taxes.
The world is changed, but Switzerland’s economic model is absolutely NOT failing!
Hey guys, I'm looking to invest but I don't know anything about the market. Any help? As well who can I reach out to?
I would advise you seek professional assistance because creating a strong financial portfolio is more difficult... This will enable you to receive methods catered to your own long-term objectives and financial aspirations.
Making touch with financial advisors like Naomi who can assist you restructure your portfolio would be a very creative option. Personal financial management will be crucial to navigating the next difficult times.
I agree with you! With her help, I diversified my 150k portfolio among different markets during this bearish market period.
Many beginners including myself have benefited from Naomi's assistance. I was able to make about 68k from her services. Incredibly profitable!
Could someone kindly leave the details of this investment analyst here??
Okay, I thought this video was about why the Swiss economy was in bad shape. In reality, this video only talks about the banking sector which is not significantly larger than in other countries. It is mainly the export industries (pharmaceutical industry, chemical industry, microtechnology, industrial electricity, industrial technology, watchmaking, etc.) that make money in Switzerland. The most powerful companies in the country are not companies that have relocated to Switzerland for tax purposes but companies that were created by Swiss people from the start (Nestlé, Novartis, Roche, ABB, MSC, etc.) and the success of these industrial companies is not linked to the success of the financial sector. Moreover, Switzerland remains one of the most important commodity trading centres in the world despite the collapse of Credit Suisse, which means that the collapse of the banking sector does not mean the collapse of the financial sector. And in particular, the collapse of the banking sector does not mean the collapse of such a diversified economy
What a bunch of croc. Sitzerland has the best universities in all of continental Europe. It is consistantly ranked as the most competitive country in the world, has one of the highest GDPs on the planet, one of the strongest currencies in the world, its currecy continues to strenghen against the dollar (since 1971 over 500%!!), aganst the Euro, the GBP and the Yen. Notice a pattern? Switzerland is the only country on the planet with a true, direct democracy where the people actually have a say in their destiny, has the second highest life expectency on the planet, the highest prodution of patents per capita and produces more than TWICE the patents per capita than the second ranked country Sweden per year. Just think about that for a second. More than TWICE as many patents per capita per year as the number two nation in the world! Patents are one of the key drivers of GDP!
You say how unbelievably important banking is to the Swiss "economic model", which effectively demonstrates how little you understand about that country. The whole financial sector in Switzerland is approx 10% of GDP. However, the Swiss include the huge Insurance business in that 10%. If you delve a bit deeper into Swiss economic statistics, you discover that the actual banking industry is only approx. 5% of Swiss GDP. However, in your video, you use that small 5% sliver to predict the future demise of the "Swiss economic model" and its wealth. Big mistake.
I have bad news for you: the Swiss economic model is just fine, thank you. Its prospects are fabulous and it still is - and will continue to be - vastly more successful than any EU or OECD country. Most EU and OECD countries (including the US of A) will continue to fall further behind Switzerland over the next decades, while Switzerland will continue to propser and increase the well-being for its citizens.
An example of an actually failed state amongst the G7 and in the EU - just for good measure, you ask?
Italy has produced a total combined GDP growth from 2005 to 2021 for its citizens of how much?? Yup:. a big, fat ZERO. ZILCH. NOTHING. 16 years of solid failure and stagnation. Loss of wealth. No progress. No future. No economic model to speak of. Just all encompassing, national, economic failure. Now THER'Es a country your titel would actually apply to since decades! Italy's failure also affects way more people as well. Can we expect a video on the massive failed states of the EU and the OECD anytime soon, or is your focus an bogus stories on the "falling apart" of the Swiss economic model just so time and resource consuming? 😂😂 Or perhaps your're being paid for nonsensical, politically manipulating videos to distract from the actual national failures?
BTW: How much has Switzerland's GDP grown during that same period as Italy? Yup: 53%. Now suddenly, Italy has had two years of growth. Why? Because it has received 257 BILLION!! Euros in political ransom from the European money printing presses (for not leaving the Euro) to "invest in the green future". Haha. 🤣😂 If you take that princly sum of printed political ransom out of the GDP calculation, Italy still has ZERO growth, while Switzerland consistantly produces actual, real growth and prosperity decade over decade. Are you perhaps starting to get the REAL economic picture, or are you politically just too fixated on the Swiss banking industry myth you're cultivating in you video? 🤣🤣
No doubt, The Swiss people have an insane accuracy reputation and come by it quite honestly - However, what this Vid points out is how it will be disrupting their economy
from within. The Banking Industry and its 'product' has a very different effect on things when something catastrophic occurs with them - Their disruption is Your disruption.
Period.
Great comment. Particularly the part where you dunk on italy.
Have you been there and speak with local people? See the age of villagers? Prices?
Seems like you took this video personal.
Spot on!
Switzerland has been my favorite country since I first visited in 1969. Even as a kid, I knew it was very special. As a person who admires quality, cleanliness, craftsmanship, beauty and class, for the individual who works with their hands there is no place better on Earth! The Swiss people are very smart, educated, elegant and hard working. I began working with Swissair in 1987, and learned how to do things right. Overall, I term Switzerland, "A culture of quality". With that being said, not everything by any measure is perfect. Swissair went out of business in 2003 after 71 years of what many argue was the world's best airline. Why? EU consolidation with the introduction of the Euro into neighboring countries, excessive debt and overreach by its executives to maintain and expand market share. The culture of quality remains but I am seriously concerned what will happen if Europe falls apart due to lack of energy, destabilization, serious harmful influences by the World Economic Forum, the EU and US, which certainly have not helped Switzerland in the least. To me, should Central Bank Digital currencies be forced upon Western Civilization, I believe firmly that freedom will be erased, and all of Western society slowly crumble into chaos. People are not going to allow governments, meant to serve them, force them into virtual, digital slavery!
Well spoken my friend❤
Yeah I completely agree with you. However, as Switzerland has always been innovative, they are playing with the idea of cryptocurrencies, which have the potential to fight against those CBDC's, and to gain back the model of privacy Switzerland was famous before...
So true! It is a very special place! ❤️🇨🇭 my heart is there in Switzerland even though I’m not.
Every country definitely seems broken this day and age.

I can report everything is absolutely fine here, banking kerfuffle notwithstanding
@@Siranoxz more than that.....we focus of the highlights only....which usually are negative.
So according to your theory Switzerland's economic model is banking secrecy and that's all? 🤣
at the end of the day switzerland is just an normal country like any other european country with a good social welfare program, stable living condition and stable economy
That's the banking model, as the vid explained Switzerland also is well industrialized with good transportation infrastructure. But the banking model is dead in the water now, considering the US/EU demand their citizens' banking information (in the future one can imagine China, India, ASEAN, etc demanding as well), and the rest of the world can no longer trust the Swiss with their money now their neutrality is dead- today it's the Russians, but tomorrow it could be the Saudis, Chinese, Indians, Nigerians, Brazilians, etc. getting targeted by the US, and other organizations (drug cartels, terrorist organizations, etc) also naturally won't feel safe there anymore.
They got rich by helping the wealthy hide their wealth, not pay taxes and launder for criminals and cartels.
Switzerland operates another economic model too- taking water from water-stressed communities and exploiting child labour in Ivory Coast and Ghana
@@Thanatar13 Secrecy is not everything. Stability and strong currency are important as well. I prefer to put my savings in Swiss francs, although maybe not at UBS.
Switzerland has a huge amount of exports and a ton of huge companies that provide massive value to the whole world. The banking sector is just one factor for Switzerland's amazing economy. I live here, and trust me, people are well off. People are happy, and the economy is as strong as ever.
I think there are some mistakes in this video.
1.
claim: 1:09 Poor mini regions constantly fighting with each other.
response: There was some minor fighting, but overal Switzerland had been a rather peaceful place for around 300 years
How to verify: You can look in wikipedia for wars involving Switzerland and there will be barely anything between mid 15 hundreds and Napoleon.
2.
claim: 2:08 Banking Secrecy
Response: Banking Secrecy was established in 1934, after germany started confiscating jewish property. This can not explain why the Swiss banking sector would have been successful in the 19th century, far before that.
How to verify: "Banking in Switzerland" wikipedia
3.
claim: 8:22 If the megabank would collapse it would take the entire country along with it
response: The financial sector represents 9 to 10% of the Swiss economy, this includes both banks and insurance companies. This new mega bank combining CS and UBS is around half of that. Loosing 5% of the economy is bad, but not taking the entire country down and likely not all the business will vanish, but rather transition to other banks.

Sometimes it's not the best way to keep your financial in the bank because it's won't grow, keeping funds in the best way is to invest it and see more coming.

I see 2-3yrs recession. Fed will raise interests in Sept 2022 if inflation doesn't peak. Inflation is producing a slew of problems throughout the world, including food shortages, diesel and heating fuel shortages, and housing prices and financial market crash. This global collapse might end up being a part of us for a very long time. With inflation currently at about 9%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about $300k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.

That's old news and already priced in the relative positioning of Switzerland. Yes, some old revenue sources have dried up, but Switzerland has successfully moved on and has remained on top. Most importantly, compared to the problems other western economies face, Switzerland looks relatively well. So money will still migrate towards it in times of crisis. There's no better alternative. Simple as that.
Better alternative is making the poor peoples life better.
Not really, nowadays the financial sector makes less than 10% of GDP, and that includes the massive insurance sector which is massive both domestically and internationally. Plus UBS and CS are well known as they are the international banks, but until their "fusion", they were eclipsed by Raiffeisen, a domestic cooperative banks, and had been losing the domestic market to that and many other domestic banks ever since 2008.
Also prior to banking Switzerland's economy has been grounded in high added value industries tied to innovation, of which watchmaking was one of the precursors, along with a globalized textile industry as early as the XVIIIth century.
tfw I totally forgot about Raiffaisen
This guy seems to think the people of Switzerland will be starving in the street, turning tricks for quarters.
if UBS goes down its over. full fledged crisis that will effect future generations.

@@bluefernlove his swiss ego talks, he's offended. Thats typical of a swiss.
Our economy is fine thank you. Our economy is not based on banks alone, we have plenty of other things we produce and do. The State banks here are very good and stable. I have my money in one of them. Just because of what happened with Credit Suisse doesn’t mean our country will suddenly fail. There is more to our country than just banks.
I'd say the bigger problem is the economic troubles of Switzerland's neighbors, which will have an effect on Swiss exports, tourism to Switzerland and so on.
It is those sneaky power hungry international billionaire oligarchs who will try and destabilize every country .

Rwanda is more often compared to Singapore.
Somalia was once called the Switzerland of Africa. Today, Guinea and Uganda are called the Switzerland of Africa due to the mountains.
@@artman12 sorry but to be the “Switzerland of an area” is not just about geography. It is about the economy and peace within the nation. Uruguay and Oman are nothing like Switzerland in terms of geography, but they are very peaceful compared to their neighbours and both don’t get involved in international affairs much, just like Switzerland. Botswana and Rwanda are similar in that regard. Guinea and Uganda are far from economically successful and aren’t exactly that peaceful, especially compared to some of their neighbours
Credit Suisse fell apart, it's rich investors and share holders's lost some pocket money but Switzerland is not falling apart because of it😁
The rescue wasn‘t a matter of swiss economy stability but world economic stability.
"Look beyond the headlines."
Great job reading the headlines.
Btw Switzerland is tax friendly right? I heard they don't tax a lot like other countries.
Swiss taxes are an average of 40% - up/down: depending on WHICH canton - State - one lives.... - Zurich = one of the highest // ZUG / SCHWYZ = are the lowest...! = info by a Swiss native... Mad.
You should rather be worried about out own country my friend. Switzerland ist just fine, miles ahead of most others.
What goes under the radar is that swiss military industry is blowing up, they made 3 times more money than last year which compensates some of the banking losses and it benefits somewhat Switzerland's government that CS fell down because UBS' biggest shareholder is the Swiss National Bank and with UBS acquiring CS, the SNB now also controls CS
swiss hase some patent on weapons. even in the early battleship ages there was some oerlikon mk on some US ships. and guns of course. we can ( but should not ) deliever both partys with gear and weapons. like this is allready the case.
Don't forget that some of the biggest Biotech companies are Swiss. GlenCore, although a horrible company is Swiss. Nestle is Swiss. I could go on but I think you get that Switzerland will in no shape or form have any economic Problems. We have almost all of the Biggest watch brands based here too. They all pay Taxes in Switzerland. Although banking makes up a significant amount of our Economy, It wouldn't be too big of a setback if it starts to fail for the economy
I think you overstate the importance of the banks. The entire financial services industry is only about 10% of the economy , and that includes the whole (re)insurance sector. Think about manufacturing - Nestle, ABB etc and all of the drug companies as well as the tech sector etc. I think that the Swiss economy is much better placed to prosper than many others in Europe, such as that of the UK.
The ingenious way in which Switzerland handled the Credit Suisse crisis has increased the confidence of many investors. No comparison with other countries, which tend to act helplessly. It made it possible to carry out a strategically sensible merger that would not have been possible under normal circumstances. UBS will become one of the 10 largest banks in the world. The other banking centres are suffering from indebted states and weak currencies. An investment in Swiss francs brings a return of 10% if only the currency gains are taken into account.
Relocated last year. Just the Value appreciation of CHF alone seems to increase my salary by 10% per year if converted to €. EU is falling apart thats for sure.
In light of the ongoing global economic crisis, it is crucial for everyone to prioritize investing in diverse sources of income that are not reliant on the government. This includes exploring opportunities in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies. Despite the challenging economic situation, it remains a favorable time to consider these investments.
Despite utilizing the correct strategies and possessing the right assets, there can still be variations in the investment returns among different investors. It is important to acknowledge that experience plays a crucial role in investment success. Personally, I realized the significance of this and sought the guidance of a market analyst, which enabled me to substantially grow my account to nearly a million. I strategically withdrew my profits just before the market correction, and now I am taking advantage of the buying opportunities once again.
I am being advised by Margaret Johnson Arndt, an experienced financial professional. If you're interested, you can easily find more information about her as she has accumulated years of expertise in the financial market.
Yes Swiss francs, crypto no
If there’s a country that will survive everything it’s Switzerland. Doesn’t get better than a direct democracy and proper economic liberalism. I suggest you read the book “The Swiss Labyrinth” to be correctly informed. IT’S NOT FALLING APART 😂
"Why Switzerland's Economic Model Is Falling Apart" is a wrong title for this video. The economic system that made and is still making Switzerland so rich is based on economic freedom, or liberalism. It's obvious that the Swiss banks are clearly in trouble, but the stability and prosperity of this country is far away to be broken up.
The Swiss banking sector is not as big as the envious foreigners use to nurture their prejudices about Switzerland. It makes only ca. 12% of Swiss GDP.
12% is the entire financial sector in Switzerland including insurance business.
The banking sector is only about 5% of GDP and the majority of this is for domestic banking.
@@3Body1307 👍👏
This social media gets uglier. To get attention such a headline!! I have been living in Switzerland for years, I have seen many countries. Swiss people did a really good job. Without energy export, they make +10% of their gdp of current account surplus. What are you talking about 😀. They have an incredible solid economy. One banks goes one bank comes who cares it as long as your core engine is strong.
Switzerland is #1 in Innovation rankings, before USA and before Singapore. Swiss precise manufacturing and high tech industries are highly competitive. Switzerland is 5th largest investor in the USA, that is huge for a small county, creating jobs in the USA.
Banking is just one part of CH. US and many international companies are selecting CH as their European headquarter. Switzerland is yet better today as it ever was, while most western countries around are lagging behind in infrastructure. Swiss people have a sense for the practical things in life and are rather realistic. That brings stability and continuous development in a world of instability. Each year, thousands of new immigrants from EU are coming to work in Switzerland. They like a life with prospects, development and freedom.
If the EU abandons sanctions, as it will probably do the next six month to a year; Switzerland is off the hook.
Why do you think EU would abandon its sanctions on Russia, when the US struggles to remove sanctions on Cuba?
EU will never abandon sanctions on Russia unless Putin is dead and whoever replaces him is a Western crony.

Yeah, that's not happening. Unless you believe Russia is pulling out of Ukraine in that time, or that Ukraine will push the Russians out of the country, which is quite possible. But even if they do that, things will not go back to the way they were prior to the invasion.
9:35 The banking sector is not an *extremely important* part of the Swiss economy. This is a common misconception about the Swiss banking industry. It ouly counts for around 10% of the Swiss economy.
Actually, the banking industry only accounts for approx. 5% of the Swiss GDP. The other 5% of "financial products and services ' are in fact the entire, huge insurance products and services, which in their own right are world class as well.
Nothing falling apart here. Inflation is at the lowest comparing to Europe. Greetings from Switzerland.
Reading the comments here, this situation in CH hasn't been explained well at all or even misrepresented. I learnt more from the comments than the video.
Banks count only for about 5% of the Swiss GDP. Banks are not Switzerland's Business Model.
😂 The Swiss miracle has not much to do with its banking system or neutrality. Rather, it is our love for innovation. Also we enjoy stability thanks to our direct democracy, which you totally failed to even mention. I give your video a 4/10.
There are many reasons indeed and the question is whether it is Banking that made Switzerland or Switzerland that made Banking. I.e. nobody (well to an extent) stopped other countries to offer good banking services. The local mentality played a very important part even in the Banking industry alone. The mentality in turn was formed by the geography etc..etc..etc.
WEF pulled off the biggest heist in world history. Every corporation got ripped off making FTX look like childs play
No wonder that Switzerland has become so rich: it made business, while the other countries all around made war; reinvests (cleverly) its profits, instead of spending them on fighting (from which only warmongers really took advantage). The rule of thumb and goal in the dominant socio-economic order being capital accumulation; it is not so astonishing it became prominent as a heaven of peace.
Yet, now that the last (and hopefully final) crisis of the capitalism is surging fast; it is not so surprising that the paramount beneficiaries (not solely Switzerland but also even more visibly, Sweden as for European continent) abandon their age old wise approach and join the mortal struggle for the continuation of rather hopeless order which have not only witnessed, but also promoted their ascent and very much wealth.
I deem that video very misleading and inaccurate. Spreading such wrong information is not very helpful. The "message" supposedly is: Switzerland is only rich due to the banking secrecy and due to hording gold from WW2. As now the banking secrecy does not exist anymore and Credit Suisse collapsed, Switzerland lost most of its economic power. This is a very limited and one-dimensional view.
Correct is: yes, Switzerland did use the advantage of not getting attacked during WW2 and did not need to rebuild the economy afterwards (while a lot of countries in Europe had to). Switzerland could profit in continuing with a functioning economy after WW2 and due to having a stable economy, a lot of money/gold was stored during WW2. Yes, Switzerland did trade with Germany during the time of WW2, but it is not the gold from these times which made Switzerland rich.
It is also not the banking secrecy, even though it was one of multiple factors which encouraged people to have a Swiss bank account. As the Swiss Franc as well as the Swiss economy is very stable, people are still very keen in putting their wealth into Swiss accounts.
The collapse of Credit Suisse is very unfortunate, but the reason is not due to flawed banking processes, but due to greedy (predominantly Anglo-Saxon) managers which squeezed over a decade the bank like a lemon, taking billions of francs of paid out bonuses. The core reason for all this mess is a heavy mismanagement on top management level (C level), taking no responsibility, only interested in short term profits. More Swissness and less of an Anglo-Saxon management style would have avoided such a disaster. That is why UBS is also far more successful, as they do not engage in this high level of risk taking, as Credit Suisse did.
Further reasons why the Swiss Economic model is not falling apart: Switzerland is part of the "blue banana", it has many large profitable companies in different industries (technology: ABB, food: Nestlé, Reinsurance: Swiss Re, luxury goods: Richemont, financial industry: UBS, pharmaceutical industry: Novartis and many, many more), the country has a very entrepreneurial spirit and encourages entrepreneurship, it has (still) quite a good educational system (a "dual education system" to generate well educated professionals), political and financial stability (therefore encouraging also foreign companies to have subsidiaries or even headquarters in Switzerland, like for example Google), it is very tax friendly for companies to reside in Switzerland, there is a large pool of well-educated human capital available, the transportation system is well organized and allows efficient logistics, Swiss products are in many cases of superior quality (not only talking of gadgets/goods like watches, but also of machines and infrastructure requiring engineering capabilities), therefore "Swiss Quality" acts as a selling argument, etc.
As one can see, there are many, many reasons why Switzerland's economic model was and still will remain successful also in the years to come. My list is not even complete, there are further reasons I could count up, but it should get apparent, that WW2 gold and a banking secrecy does not do the "trick".
That explains the deluge of Swiss Tourism ad recently. Not complaining though , Seeing Roger Federer explaining Swiss Alps beauty is treat😄
Switzerland is not just about Banks, if I have to compare Switzerland to other European countries I have to say I’m thankful I’m living here.
As a Swiss I'm quite greatful for this video telling me that the economy in my country is falling apart. I'd never have found that out by looking at how I, or any of my family and friends working in different places and domains are doing. Also the media is not talking about it, neither leaders in politics, economy or even trade unions... gotta be on the lookout for that crisis.
In the meantime, the US Congress is playing roulette with the US Debt Ceiling and putting the global banking system and world’s economy in jeopardy. Just recognizing the elephant in the room.

There's more to Switzerland than banking, and the country is not falling apart.
It has not been that way for centuries… up until mid 1900s Switzerland was the poor house of Europe… huge misconception… ask any old Swiss person about their childhood and they will tell you about hunger and hardship
Why only talk about banking? Switzerland is so small yet have so many good universities and large corporations like nestle abb novartis even rolex
If only the rest of the world was as good as Switzerland, I have cycled around the whole country, its beautiful clean high standards and nice friendly people, I have travelled to quite a lot of countries but Switzerland is still my favourite hot summers and snowy winters everything works as it should, an upmarket smaller efficient Germany with Italian flair and French style what's not to love about it, just wish I could afford to live there 🙄
Yes!!!
I don't agree with this video.
Banking (without Insurance) is only about 5% of Swiss GDP. While being important, it doesn't make anything fall apart or change any of the other fundamentals.
Why does the world allow this small minority of Banksters to control the world's credit supply, award themselves massive bonuses and risk the economy? There must be a better way to run the economy.

You don't adress the causes of Swiss Miracle, that is the education. Switzerland is the first country for innovation in the world, the country with the highest rate of Nobel prices, like Albert Einstein. Switzerland is in the top ratings of Human Development, Hapyness, life expectancy. The highest attractive country for foreigners (25% of population), 350000 people cross the border every day to work in Switzerland. The integration of foreigners is very good : in the canton de Vaud (capital Lausanne) the president of the government is of greek origin, 2 are from spanish origin one from Italy, all second generation.

government 2 out of 7 minister have a father peasant, one is a wine maker, the social elevator works very well.The bank is now 9-10% of Internal Revenue. So imagine that the end of the bank secrecy will be the end of the swiss economy is not true.
Ok so your argument is that: 1. Swiss banking transparency is a problem (for whom exactly?) and,
2. One bank crashing (among how many that melted down in the rest of the world) is significant how?
Considering Switzerland has one of the lowest and controlled levels of inflation, I think they should be looked at as a model to follow. You may want to base your research and analysis beyond grade school level narrative.
This is a bit misleading clickbaity for a title....not Swiss but am American. It should be "Why Switzerland's Banking Model is Falling Apart". Switzerland the country though? I think they're doing fine still as they always have been.
Swiss people sleep early
, wake up early
, and show up to the work early. Such people's economy does not fall apart.
Being Swiss I want to clarify that Switzerland is doing well. Switzerland did experience an increase in poverty and a decrease in gdp growth, but that was mainly due to covid. Climate change is also having a destructive impact on the economy of regions famous for winter sports, but Switzerland is absolutely not about to collapse. Furthermore the collapse of Credit Suisse, which was a complete embarrassment, did not by any mean signify the end of Swiss banks. Banks work all around the world, even without secrecy and even without anything special. Swiss banks will surely see a decrease in deposits and therefore revenue, but will not collapse. Credit Swiss was one accident, not an undeniable catastrophe. Furthermore Switzerland has international reach, stability and continuous economic development. What makes Switzerland rich is not just banks. We have the second most varied economy in the world, which means that if someone fragment of the economy fails, we have hundreds more. Switzerland is not doing well mostly due to climate change, not to incompetence (which is still very embarrassing and even though I’m a nobody I want to apologise for the mismanagement, especially to the families that saw turmoil being brought in their lives by the collapse of those morons). Take this message as a sign that climate change will always be a greater problem than any episode of mismanagement
Thank you for this wonderful video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,l just don't know what I do wrong
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Janet
Wow I'm just shock you mentioned and recommended Expert Mrs Janet,I thought I'm the only trading with her
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SHOCK BECAUSE I'M ALSO A HUGE BENEFICIARY OF expert MRS JANET
the reaI success of SwitzerIand comes from two things mainIy, a highIy stabIe society and a great pace of innovation; both are stiII true and its success is stiII untouched
You completely forgot to mention that in the 1990s' the US pressured the Swiss banks to give the names of all bank accounts of Jews who had opened bank accounts in Switzerland before the war in 1939. Many were murdered by Germany and after the war Switzerland stole their money.
They also depleted the accounts by huge bank fees.
The survivors and relatives who forgot the account numbers were refused cooperation. The relatives were requested to give a Death Certificate even if the relatives were murdered at Auschwitz. Germany did not give out Death Certificates for the 6 million that were murdered.
There were also non Jews and even Nazis who had bank accounts in Switzerland which were either not claimed or the relatives couldnot have access to them as they did not have the account numbers. The Swiss banks refused to cooperate.
The Swiss banks had to pay about $1 billion in fines.
Bruh moment
Such an outdated story. Tell me something new. The holocaust story is getting so boring by now
@@secrets.295 You're so right. It has become so cliché and annoying. And which country is flawless looking at its past? Colonialism, slavery, expropriation and partial extermination of origin populations like indians, etc. The world is so jealous of Switzerland success that they have to spoil it as much as they can, not looking at their own failures.
6:27 "at least you know that they are safe" - oh no, I know what's coming LOL
Yeah. Right. 😂 👏 Cheers from 🇨🇭
As a swiss Person i can say this video is not really accurate, this is not insight but more stereotypical thinking
The Banking industry is very small in comparison to other industries. It is totally overplayed by outsiders.
People don't understand swiss bank secrecy in the us but like delaware and cayman islands tax system.
Why does this guy talk like the Burger King foot lettuce guy?
What you overlook is that Switzerland's success is based on how the country is governed. It is a confederation which is governed decentralized and where there is fierce competition between the various cantons in relation to how to govern and tax.
100% of non-Swiss people watching this video wishing their economic model would fall apart like Switzerland's
After sanctions were enforced, clients from China and the Gulf start looking elsewhere 🇨🇭 so long. Adieu.
Switzerland is stronger day by day, other economies are fallen apart. You have to put the money in a place with a stable currency. The US dollar and the British pound are constantly losing value against the Swiss franc. In 1960, one US dollar cost 4.50, now it is o.90. 1 pound cost 11 CHF Now about 1 CHF. The euro has lost a third of its value since its introduction. The dramatic currency collapse will intensify in a time of galloping inflation in these countries. Without intervention by the Swiss National Bank in favour of these currencies, the dollar and the pound would be at 0.10. There is no alternative to Switzerland for any dutiful investor.
Beatiful nature is rare resource. Many live in depressing nature conditions. Oligarch families move to live there.
Switzerland have a powerful and divers économy compared to other country
Switzerland - for centuries - has been one of the wealthiest countries in the world. The video should actually stop right there since such a statement reveals that the people who posted this video have no clue about the history of Switzerland. Why are 11% of the Swiss population living abroad? Historically, Switzerland was one of the poorest agricultural countries in Europe - people had to emigrate to other countries, and due to the lack of an economy outside the family farm which consisted of a few cows and goats - the men had to work as "mercenaries" for the Kings of France and Italy - or the Vatican.
If Switzerland will fall apart let
Me
Know please!? 😂😂 it works on all levels very good so far!! If whole world will fall - Switzerland will be the last country believe me!!
Where do you get your information from? Thin Air??
"The usual suspects" blackmailed them as they are accustomed to do with anybody else.
come on! switzerland is one of the highly diversified, competitive and innovative countries in the world. you yust pick out one singular issue and blow it out! banking in switzerland changed - that's a fact - but didn't disappear. they managed to adapt the new situation. the decline of the CS is a big issue but the reasons are mismanagement and a flawed strategy!
Ok. What about watches, luxury items, medicine, engines and motor parts and the other important sectors of the Swiss economy? Our business is larger than just banks, so this video's title is just clickbait...
around 30 years ago, some Japanese said the same thing, we have semi-conductor, cars, electric gadget, steel- but gradually dying after experiencing of some political failures. One single financial failure (even it is a big topic) won't end the country immediately specially developed countries (I mean you won't starve tomorrow immediately) but gradually kills everybody unless you have courage to face the fundamental problem behind the drama. For Japan- the fundamental issue was cronyism.
No doubt, The Swiss people have an insane accuracy reputation and come by it quite honestly - However, what this Vid points out is how it will be disrupting their economy
from within. The Banking Industry and its 'product' has a very different effect on things when something catastrophic occurs with them - Their disruption is Your disruption.
Period.
Watches? Who is buying watches in 2023? I really don't understand the planet is there are many dummies who pay for a watch these days.
@@nanayh04man, Japanese are doing just fine. Ukrainians are dying if we want to talk about real problems on our planet.
@@george.carlin Ukraine has such a bad fortune with Russia. Majority of Japanese are very empathtic to their sialtuation because Russia was aiming to invade Japan initially not Ukraine but changed target to Ukraine in last min, really last min. from the agenda how they built, i must say Russia had no legit or rational reason to invade Ukraine , just they wanted destroy Ukraine.
Ukraine's circumstance is different level.
Hi, hem, the banking in Switzerland is now around… 8% of the country's GDP, so not really a concern - on the other side, it's industry is flourishing and _very_ resilient as it is mostly composed of small (mainly familial) companies exporting _a lot_ , they also very often are world leaders in their branch (Swiss quality isn't an empty formula).
The education system has been polished in each and every bit to improve it, mixing between apprenticeship and higher education and much more than that, a very well thought gateway between the both of them to easily allow a former apprentice to come back to long studies or, at the opposite, some graduated people to completely change their kind of work, it is one of the most efficient package of the kind in the world.
Notably, is is also a country where several companies are running without a CEO and even without the whole top of the pyramid and even the pyramid itself, using a longitudinal organization - this is a very uncommon thing you don't find everywhere.
So, this video is an external view (and very old romantic style but still very wrong) cliché, nothing more (disclaimer : I'm French, not Swiss).
bad reaserched. we have one of the most diversified econemy in the world. the banking system isnt that big anymore then it was once. we can life without it
The good fame of Switzerland backs to the middle ages and owes nothing to the banks. Besides, Switzerland neighbors are four of the most important countries of Europe: France, Germany, Italy and last but not least, Austria. The USA would wish have such neighbors. And the fabulous swiss economy just relies 10 % ond the banking sector. So this bank scandal is just a tiny hiccup in Switzerlands history.
Well, I live in Switzerland for more than 25 years now and agree with your statement besides the last sentence, as the new bank balance sheet represents now 150% of Swiss GDP, where JP Morgan, the largest bank in the world only represents 12% of US GDP. So if there is a problem with UBS one day, there is no way that Switzerland can save it and the impact on Swiss economy would be a disaster. This situation is quite worrysome.
You have lots of tiny ugly hiccups.
5:30 of course the US just has to conveniently walk-in into everyone's issues.
salaries went up this year and groceries are just slightly more expensive compared to other countries, I think they are doing well.
Complete nonsense.
Business model from Switzerland was connection from South (Milano) to North (Cologne, Amsterdam) though their Alps Passes and trade.
For a long time most inhabitants on countryside are poor (not their counterparts in cities).
For centuries Swiss has to offer themselves as mercenaries.
This changed only after enveloping a very strict kind of Protestant Religion (Calvin and Zwingli) plus Industrial Revolution and as result from their long lasting Neutrality.
Now Switzerland can be blackmailed and pressured from US and EU, now they gave up most of their successful neutrality.
