As is usual at this time of year, the Swiss economy is showing its quiet side, according to a press release issued by business directory Help.ch on Friday.
Compared to the previous month of July, the number of company formations as well as deletions and mutations also fell significantly. The number of newly founded companies fell by 22 percent and the number of deletions by 27 percent compared to the previous month.
However, with the expected increase in economic activity in the fall, the number of deletions is also expected to rise again.
