I'm Swiss and living below the poverty line. Inflation is very real in Switzerland too and I'm struggling. My electricity bill has doubled in 6 months and I need to find deals on almost expired food to afford groceries. I'm absolutely non the only Swiss living with the same problem. Stop erasing poverty in rich countries. Thank you.
I thought the same, prices for pasta rose 40% and more, fuel is on a long time high level, even our politicians decsided to give themself more money.. but nothing for the poor.. maybe 800 000 out of 9 mio are just a to small amount of people to take care of. Luckily our regime have still over 25 Million vaxdoses left to put them to the garabage, since Africa don't want them anymore.
I live in Switzerland and I‘ve noticed pretty much nothing. Rent and electricity is the same it‘s always been. Food might have become a little more expensive.
A perfect storm is brewing in the United States. Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place. It's all coming together and it could lead to a real disaster towards the end of this year (or sooner). With inflation currently at about 6%, 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.
These are the conditions in which life-changing money is made by those who remain calm, patient, and take controlled risks. Volatility goes both ways. The bigger the red candles, the bigger the green ones.
Investing in stocks can be a wise decision, especially if you have a dependable trading system that can lead to successful outcomes. Personally, I've been working with a financial advisor for about a year now. Starting with less than $200K and I'm now just $19,000 away from making half a million in profit.
Izella Annette Anderson is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

Switzerland is one of the world's wealthiest countries because it is the safe heaven for corrupt political leaders. Those corrupts leader's keep their money in Swiss banks. This is way their currency is up and they don't feel inflation.
Did my grocery bill just jump 10%? Feels like I'm working harder for the same amount of stuff. Gotta find ways to stretch my budget further or this inflation thing is gonna flatten my wallet.
I hear you. Curbing spending is key. Look for cheaper alternatives, clip coupons, and maybe even consider a side hustle to boost your income. Every bit helps fight inflation's bite.
Firstly, rack your spending, identify areas to cut back, and free up money to weather inflation's storm. A financial consultant can help you analyze your budget and identify areas to cut back without sacrificing your lifestyle.They can also explore ways to boost your income through strategic investments. One client I worked with saw their portfolio grow by 12% last year, allowing them to build a buffer against inflation.
Food prices went up in Switzerland on 4% compared to Germany 16% but my aunt who lives in Switzerland would still go to buy food in Germany because it’s still cheaper in Germany
Well the Euro also lost 10% compared to the Swiss Franc. So if you bought stuff for €100 that used to be 110 CHF, now it's €116 and 116 CHF. So the price increase is only 5% in CHF.
@@R3lay0 But food is also less expensive in EU countries compared to the US, even with the price hike over the last year. Food prices are less likely to go up a lot in countries where it's already expensive to begin with, and that's the case in Switzerland and the US. Still thought, that doesn't mean consumers don't feel it because you get used to something, regardless of how much it cost, so any price hike is always felt, even if the starting base was lower than the above 2 countries.
Not anymore, man. I use to buy in France from Geneva. It’s not profitable at this date. You might save maybe 10 bucks, but now some things are more expensive in Germany and France than here in Switzerland 🇨🇭
I stayed in Munich Germany last week for a week vacation. I felt like the food, taxi and hotels are way cheaper than here in the U.S... The taxi driver was venting and saying that rents are too expensive. He said that in the city is like $1,000 a month one bedroom... I wish i lived in Munich😕
This partly changed. An example is coffee. I was in Gemany last weekend and the my favourite brand cost 8,5€ in Germany and 8,5 CHF back here. Just one of the eeamples. And as Robet says, our salaries are higher (more important, we pay some 8-12% tax and not close to 50 (as single))
If the FED cuts, inflation will come back up. So it's the 70s again. The tech stocks are overvalued junk along with the social site crap. ATP how can I restructure my portfolio of around $1M to secure my retirement.

Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year.

The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.
Having a counselor is essential for portfolio diversification. My advisor is EILEEN RUTH SPARKS who is easily searchable and has extensive knowledge of the financial markets.

@@ohhellnooooo8233 It was even 700k per capita. But it's not net worth, it's the assets. Swiss also have the highest debt / liability per capita. The asset is mainly made of the real estate. Almost no Swiss owns his home completely. Typically, it would be 1/3 and the rest you don't amortize and pay mortgage, which are deductible from your tacable income. Net worth is still around half of those 700k, whiich is still very comfortable.
Official inflation rate does not include all goods and services. For instance, it doesn’t include health care insurance premium. They have soared over the last two decades and increased at a significantly higher rate than the GDP per capita did. About 1/3 of the families in Switzerland get subsidized on Health Care Insurance cost! Because they can’t afford it. Actual inflation is definitely higher, but not yet as high as some neighboring countries, though.
Very very accurate. "Inflation figures" are based on select few goods in the market in the economy "basket" and are not reflective of every single product in the market.
Meanwhile in the US 1/3 of the country can't afford health insurance and the ones that do have it can't afford to use it. Our "inflation" numbers are extremely cherry picked in order to present a more favorable outcome for corporations over people.
Agree. I think we started with something over 220 CHF per month 5 years ago, now we are paying ~360 CHF per month. And yes, as a PhD student I was once subsidised.
@@shikharsrivastava3558 Prices have risen in B, too, but the incomes are astronomically low in all fields. (Except for a select few. Lots of 1%ers in B, so the average income won't tell you anything.) Know quite a bunch of people who left Berlin for Zürich and are far better off. Now, trying to eat in Zurich on a Berlin income, though.... ouch 😳
The primary factor that can account for Switzerland's ability to stave off high inflation can be attributed to the concept of state-control. The presence of state-owned enterprises operating in the essential commodities sector, such as food, energy, and property businesses, is instrumental in preventing the onset of inflation. This is because inflation arises from a culture of profiteering, which is mitigated by the existence of such enterprises under government supervision.
@@larryc1616 Switzerland is probably the most capitalist country in western Europe. The taxes can even be lower than in the US, depending on the Kanton you are looking at.

The report is titled how Switzerland “beat” inflation. But, according to the report, it was never high. The reasons stated are why Switzerland is seemingly immune from it rising to the same levels seen in other countries. So, the title is misleading. That is, there was nothing to beat and therefore Switzerland didn’t do anything to lower inflation.
@freeuserdata small and competent yes, homogenous not at all. every one of our 26 kantons has its own culture and customs, we have 4 official languages and kantonal dialects are so different that its very hard to understand some people. we also have large populations of immigrants (not the recent ones) that have successfully integrated. you are right about gigantic government, we dont even have a capital (in the normal sense) government functions are spread out and we dont have a (normal) presidency, instead we have a federal council.
Except cultivate its own currency, be a stable and very liberal, free market and highly democratic country with the best universities in all of continental Europe and a highly trained work force and an economy used to generating wealth by creating high value-added products and services while buying locally and protecting nationaly inporant sectors such as agriculture and economically relevant sectors such as energy production. Many of these factors were explicitly mentioned in the video. If you missed them, so has your government. THAT explains why your country cannot copy what is essentially a fairly simple business model. People only see what they WANT to see. 🤓

@@eXislander That's what's happening in the socialist democracy where I live as well.

And you are angry at the scraps your politicians throw at them?? Have you no shame??? Everyone wants to be a victim-- European wealth and great health care often comes at the expense of 3rd world starvation. France continues to exploit the poorest countries of the world while feigning superiority. Belgium owes its civilization to African blood. Switzerland is so rich that inflation barely impacts it.. I wonder if the reporter kept breaking the chocolate to remind us that they don't grow cocoa but has a monopoly on the trade???
They just lie and tell everyone inflation is less than people's annual salary increases. Otherwise people would riot if they knew their currency was being essentially devalued by 15% every year!
Healthcare premiums have soared, bills for electricity are higher, food prices are up too, affordable housing is becoming rare. Yes, inflation might be low, but mostly in areas where people don’t care. If you focus on essential things it feels like 10-20%.
If I remember correctly, Switzerland didn't lock down duing the pandemic, so their government didn't print billions and billions of dollars to keep the economy going, which is why all other countries that did are now facing high inflation.
That clichee about Switzerland being so damn expensive is just overhyped. Of course it's expensive compared to many other countries, but there are a bunch of countries who are more or same expensive but don't have to carry that permanent "it's expensive" tag
The Swiss managed to grow and produce everything they need on a daily basis . We shouldn't forget that Switzerland was always very expensive for non Swiss so for them to be more expensive is difficult.
Yeah, but it sucks it's almost impossible to be a citizen and there's growing anti-immigration sentiment. That is their choice but it makes it hard for others to contribute and share in the rewards. Oh well, perhaps we can do similar things outside Switzerland.
Outsiders love to say that Switzerland is expensive. It might be expensive to you as an outsider/visiter but not for the Swiss. Minimum wage is Switzerland is set at CHF 24. - per hour or 25,64 USD per hour. The federal minimum wage in the US is $7.25 per hour. The current highest minimum wage in the US is found in Washington state at $15.74 per hour.
Dude I worked as a part-time tutor in Geneva for 1.5 years. I was earning CHF 50 per hour. I miss that place. It's the best country in the world and also the least unequal.

The following points must be ensured by the state for a country to prosper: Internal and external security Water supply/sanitation Access to medical care Electricity and gas supply Access to education Waste disposal Public transport, especially railroads Independent judicial system Economic national supply Creation of legal and economic conditions for entrepreneurs.
I mean it's not that complicated: the CHF maintains a significantly higher gold-to-currency ratio than most of the world's currencies. Foreign money has flowed steadily into Switzerland the past three years as wealthy people in other countries run from their own overprinted, inflating currencies. This makes imported goods cheaper in Switzerland, which in turn forces domestic producers to suppress price hikes to in order to stay competitive with foreign goods. In short, Switzerland is prospering off the less prudent monetary policies of larger countries. Which is pretty much what Switzerland has always done.
Your completely right, but he, winners take oft advantage of competition's weaknesses. In sport it's the same. And if the competitor does not improve, it's just too bad for them.
That must explain why Switzerland produces the most patents per capita in the world and the US as number two only produces half the patents per capita of the Swiss. That should also explain why Switzerland is ranked as the most cometitive country on the planet. It's all that foreign money flowing in... 🤣😂
You got it all wrong I'm afraid. There's not a SINGLE country today that has their currency pegged to gold (or any commodity for that matter), the Swiss used to have a 40% but after 2001 or so, held a referendum and it was de-pegged. ALL currencies worldwide today are fiat currencies, nothing to back them with but faith. Hence the latin word fiat, by decree. Cheers!

I live in Switzerland and everything has become very expensive and inflated. Except for the worker's salary. I asked the competent authorities, and they told me that you are an ordinary worker without a certificate. But when I go to the store, I don't find a shelf with cheap prices for those who don't have a diploma. So I learned that the measure of inflation is measured by the wealthy and diploma holders.
your tips were spot on! I tried them out and got a score of 4 out of 5 - the best I've done in ages. I'm still learning, but your guidance has been invaluable. Thanks so much
I think there should be an agency that strictly focuses on keeping companies responsible for keeping prices down and giving back to their employees. I feel like in the US we can't trust anyone to do that because everyone is trying to screw as many people as possible to gain power.
That is what unions should do, unfortunately many countries have unions who aren't supporting workers. In Sweden the unions are promoting campaigns of not asking for a higher wage increase. Since the 90s the open market has also become a lot less regulated in most countries, this was seen as a way to enable companies to compete for the lowest prices and highest profit. Currently the situation had flipped what used to be inexpensive has at least doubled in price. Unfortunately I doubt that under capitalism workers will be able to live under the standards they deserve.
Switzerland has that, its not about giving money back to the employees though, the agency checks if for example grocery store go up with their prices too much. Like their allowed to offset the cost of inflatian ect. but not allowed to just go up with their prices on essentials more than they need to offset their cost. In a time of inflatian many companies use that to just make higher prices and blame it on inflation, in switzerland companies that sell essential goods are not allowed to do that and that agency is responsible for making sure that they dnt.
they tried that sort of regulatory state across the western world after WW2. it was failing so miserably by the late 70s, Reagan and Thatcher had to be elected to save their countries. Sweden had their own free market revolution in the early 90s for the same reason.
@@echochamber1234Fundamental misunderstanding of what you're talking about. The post WW2 social contract was enforced by interest groups mostly, with governments focusing on the macroeconomic level. In the 1970s, 2 little incidents threw off balance the economies because their primary consumed ressource got its price shooting through the roof. We are seeing similar things happening and less regulated and bigger markets don't seem to do any better. Reagan and Thatcher didn't save anything, they put the economy on permanent lifesupport. And started debt - based growth which may soon bite us big time. The rates of profit are still way down from the post war period.
@@silly8395 Switzerland is and was the origin of many well known mathematicians and scientists. The country has high standards and is very social and open with a very democratic political system. Switzerland is a multinational country respecting humans, nature and science.
The main reason Swiss inflation is low is that they have a strong currency. As for price controls, they generally suck, as long term they decrease supply. I notice milk is price controlled in CH but there's an oversupply of milk so that's not a big deal. Further of interest in this video is that they appear to be using PPP for GDP per capita figures, which gives an inflated number (notice RU is about $30k per capita GDP, which is too high outside of Moscow).

It is very well said and explained. I'm certain that other countries are aware of all this however, most of them made decisions based on their greed and selfishness. All this things are coming with the way a person is raised, educated, moral principles, integrity, values, beliefs.
Take advice from someone who can't spell the name of the country... This information is wrong. Salary might be double or triple but I can guarantee prices (apartment, fuel, electricity, food) are far from being double, maybe +10-50% tops.
I lived and worked 2 years in Switzerland. I worked there because you make more money. That is because the taxes are lower. Unlike the Netherlands. The Dutch tax rates are insane. They even have a wealth tax. Meaning if you have 100k in the bank you pay a fixed tax rate on it. Even if the money is your retirement savings. Insane. Great country for poor people and refugees.
Living now in Switzerland for one year, it's funny to see how people claim the country is expensive to live in. It is extremely cheap country. For me, price is not defining if a country is cheap or expensive to live in (again, live in, other thing is travel to for holidays). What defines a country being cheap or expensive to live in is the salary you get vs. cost of life. Here you can see how someone in an Internship is getting 2 or even 3K swiss francs a month. Renting a room can go from as cheap as 400-500 swiss francs to 1.000 swiss francs and the health insurance about 350 CHF. Having that said, an intern can move out from house of parents, pay the rent by his own, his health insurance, pay for his food, etc and still even make a tiny saving. I come from Spain, where people on their late 20's with 6-10 years of working experience, really struggle to be able to move out from house of parents and pay the bills, no leisure bills on top, just survival. So, is it Switzerland expensive? No, it's not. It's quite cheap. An average job can pay you enough for moving out from your parents home, pay rent and all basic needs, add a car on top and nice holidays in summer. In other countries, an average job will pay for survival, and that's it. If you put the focus on the number near the loaf of bread, then, YES, the swiss loaf of breed is really expensive.
Nope. The Swiss Franc has appreciated from 4 Francs to a USD in 1971 to 0.95 to a USD today. THAT's what a strong currency looks like. From this vantage point, its the greenback that is highly inflated. Just a thought... 😊🤓
A side note about the chocolate bar (Toblerone) used in the video as a form of swiss representation: In the near future it will mostly be produced in Bratislava Slovakia. So not much swissness in it anymore. 😑 But sadly that is true for most chocolate advocated as swiss chocolate nowadays.

No matter how much we try, we virtually never spend less than $100-$150 for quite ordinary items, such as eggs, butter, bread, fruit. Food insecurity in the US is on the raise.
Switzerland has a smaller population than London! You can't compare an 8 million people country against an 80 million people country like Germany! Easier to regulate stuff when you have less people and less resources

And this rapid increase has a multiplier effect on the entire economy, from industry to households. Behind the increase in the growth of these key commodities is the geopolitical situation and the speculation of major players and investors.
There is a lesson for India in there, about privatizing energy. In the last 9 years, a lot of privatization was done in key energy spaces(like coal) to benefit a few parties. I'm afraid it is going to hurt our economy in the long run, as mentioned in this video.

A perfect storm is brewing in the United States. Inflation, bank collapse, severe drought in the agricultural belt, recession, food shortages, diesel fuel and heating oil shortages, baby formula shortages, available automobile shortages and prices, the price of living place. It's all coming together and it could lead to a real disaster towards the end of this year (or sooner). With inflation currently at about 6%, 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.
These are the conditions in which life-changing money is made by those who remain calm, patient, and take controlled risks. Volatility goes both ways. The bigger the red candles, the bigger the green ones.
Investing in stocks can be a wise decision, especially if you have a dependable trading system that can lead to successful outcomes. Personally, I've been working with a financial advisor for about a year now. Starting with less than $200K and I'm now just $19,000 away from making half a million in profit.

Food prices went up in Switzerland on 4% compared to Germany 16% but my aunt who lives in Switzerland would still go to buy food in Germany because it’s still cheaper in Germany
Well the Euro also lost 10% compared to the Swiss Franc.
So if you bought stuff for €100 that used to be 110 CHF, now it's €116 and 116 CHF. So the price increase is only 5% in CHF.
@@R3lay0 But food is also less expensive in EU countries compared to the US, even with the price hike over the last year.
Food prices are less likely to go up a lot in countries where it's already expensive to begin with, and that's the case in Switzerland and the US.
Still thought, that doesn't mean consumers don't feel it because you get used to something, regardless of how much it cost, so any price hike is always felt, even if the starting base was lower than the above 2 countries.
Not anymore, man.
I use to buy in France from Geneva. It’s not profitable at this date. You might save maybe 10 bucks, but now some things are more expensive in Germany and France than here in Switzerland 🇨🇭

Seriously, Switzerland is already so expensive compared to its neighbours, that a 3.5% inflation seems like normal yearly price increase.
This partly changed. An example is coffee. I was in Gemany last weekend and the my favourite brand cost 8,5€ in Germany and 8,5 CHF back here. Just one of the eeamples. And as Robet says, our salaries are higher (more important, we pay some 8-12% tax and not close to 50 (as single))

Official inflation rate does not include all goods and services. For instance, it doesn’t include health care insurance premium. They have soared over the last two decades and increased at a significantly higher rate than the GDP per capita did. About 1/3 of the families in Switzerland get subsidized on Health Care Insurance cost! Because they can’t afford it. Actual inflation is definitely higher, but not yet as high as some neighboring countries, though.
Very very accurate. "Inflation figures" are based on select few goods in the market in the economy "basket" and are not reflective of every single product in the market.
Meanwhile in the US 1/3 of the country can't afford health insurance and the ones that do have it can't afford to use it. Our "inflation" numbers are extremely cherry picked in order to present a more favorable outcome for corporations over people.

The primary factor that can account for Switzerland's ability to stave off high inflation can be attributed to the concept of state-control. The presence of state-owned enterprises operating in the essential commodities sector, such as food, energy, and property businesses, is instrumental in preventing the onset of inflation. This is because inflation arises from a culture of profiteering, which is mitigated by the existence of such enterprises under government supervision.
We have a strong currency and that has helped to keep inflation lower too.

The report is titled how Switzerland “beat” inflation. But, according to the report, it was never high. The reasons stated are why Switzerland is seemingly immune from it rising to the same levels seen in other countries. So, the title is misleading. That is, there was nothing to beat and therefore Switzerland didn’t do anything to lower inflation.
A gram of prevention is better than a kilo of cure, I suppose.
@freeuserdata small and competent yes, homogenous not at all. every one of our 26 kantons has its own culture and customs, we have 4 official languages and kantonal dialects are so different that its very hard to understand some people. we also have large populations of immigrants (not the recent ones) that have successfully integrated.
you are right about gigantic government, we dont even have a capital (in the normal sense) government functions are spread out and we dont have a (normal) presidency, instead we have a federal council.
@Kougami True and this is why the Swiss want to keep governments away from any kind of intervention as much as possible.
Except cultivate its own currency, be a stable and very liberal, free market and highly democratic country with the best universities in all of continental Europe and a highly trained work force and an economy used to generating wealth by creating high value-added products and services while buying locally and protecting nationaly inporant sectors such as agriculture and economically relevant sectors such as energy production. Many of these factors were explicitly mentioned in the video. If you missed them, so has your government. THAT explains why your country cannot copy what is essentially a fairly simple business model. People only see what they WANT to see. 🤓

I mean it's not that complicated: the CHF maintains a significantly higher gold-to-currency ratio than most of the world's currencies. Foreign money has flowed steadily into Switzerland the past three years as wealthy people in other countries run from their own overprinted, inflating currencies. This makes imported goods cheaper in Switzerland, which in turn forces domestic producers to suppress price hikes to in order to stay competitive with foreign goods. In short, Switzerland is prospering off the less prudent monetary policies of larger countries. Which is pretty much what Switzerland has always done.
Your completely right, but he, winners take oft advantage of competition's weaknesses. In sport it's the same. And if the competitor does not improve, it's just too bad for them.
That must explain why Switzerland produces the most patents per capita in the world and the US as number two only produces half the patents per capita of the Swiss. That should also explain why Switzerland is ranked as the most cometitive country on the planet. It's all that foreign money flowing in... 🤣😂
You got it all wrong I'm afraid. There's not a SINGLE country today that has their currency pegged to gold (or any commodity for that matter), the Swiss used to have a 40% but after 2001 or so, held a referendum and it was de-pegged.

I think there should be an agency that strictly focuses on keeping companies responsible for keeping prices down and giving back to their employees. I feel like in the US we can't trust anyone to do that because everyone is trying to screw as many people as possible to gain power.
That is what unions should do, unfortunately many countries have unions who aren't supporting workers. In Sweden the unions are promoting campaigns of not asking for a higher wage increase. Since the 90s the open market has also become a lot less regulated in most countries, this was seen as a way to enable companies to compete for the lowest prices and highest profit. Currently the situation had flipped what used to be inexpensive has at least doubled in price. Unfortunately I doubt that under capitalism workers will be able to live under the standards they deserve.
An agency like that in a capitalistic world? You must be joking… 🙈
Switzerland has that, its not about giving money back to the employees though, the agency checks if for example grocery store go up with their prices too much. Like their allowed to offset the cost of inflatian ect. but not allowed to just go up with their prices on essentials more than they need to offset their cost. In a time of inflatian many companies use that to just make higher prices and blame it on inflation, in switzerland companies that sell essential goods are not allowed to do that and that agency is responsible for making sure that they dnt.
they tried that sort of regulatory state across the western world after WW2. it was failing so miserably by the late 70s, Reagan and Thatcher had to be elected to save their countries. Sweden had their own free market revolution in the early 90s for the same reason.
@@echochamber1234Fundamental misunderstanding of what you're talking about.
The post WW2 social contract was enforced by interest groups mostly, with governments focusing on the macroeconomic level.
In the 1970s, 2 little incidents threw off balance the economies because their primary consumed ressource got its price shooting through the roof. We are seeing similar things happening and less regulated and bigger markets don't seem to do any better.
Reagan and Thatcher didn't save anything, they put the economy on permanent lifesupport. And started debt - based growth which may soon bite us big time. The rates of profit are still way down from the post war period.
Switzerland never fails to impress.
why ?
ever wonder how they got all the money ? its blood on their flag
@@silly8395 Switzerland is and was the origin of many well known mathematicians and scientists. The country has high standards and is very social and open with a very democratic political system. Switzerland is a multinational country respecting humans, nature and science.

@@silly8395 care to elaborate?
@@silly8395 please elaborate.
The main reason Swiss inflation is low is that they have a strong currency. As for price controls, they generally suck, as long term they decrease supply. I notice milk is price controlled in CH but there's an oversupply of milk so that's not a big deal. Further of interest in this video is that they appear to be using PPP for GDP per capita figures, which gives an inflated number (notice RU is about $30k per capita GDP, which is too high outside of Moscow).
Strong currency as in backed by gold, assets like stocks. That's how you get a strong currency, other than being popular like the US dollar due to the superior productivity of the USA.
@@raylopez99Swiss Francs is not backed by gold. What make it strong ? Political Stabilty mostly: no government shanenigans, no huge strikes (like in France). Everything runs smoothly. When other currencies start getting weak, people buy swiss francs as a sanctuary currency
@@eustachedelamoustache CH francs are backed by gold, even Apple stock, Google this.
@@raylopez99 Swiss francs are not backed by gold since 2000, where do you get that information?
@@eustachedelamoustache The Swiss National Bank holds about 5 percent of its currency reserves in gold. At the end of 2021, this gold was worth 56 billion Swiss francs. Ninety-five percent of the currency reserves consist of foreign currency investments. These were worth around one trillion Swiss francs at the end of 2021.

It is very well said and explained. I'm certain that other countries are aware of all this however, most of them made decisions based on their greed and selfishness.
All this things are coming with the way a person is raised, educated, moral principles, integrity, values, beliefs.
I clicked immediately this notification popped. So excited to learn from you
Seems Switzerland is a gem
It doesn't just SEEM that way... 😊😊
in swiss the prices are already double compared to the netherlands, and sometimes triple compaired to other surrounding countries.
so what? the monthly salary is also double to triple
you need to know where to buy...
Take advice from someone who can't spell the name of the country... This information is wrong. Salary might be double or triple but I can guarantee prices (apartment, fuel, electricity, food) are far from being double, maybe +10-50% tops.
@@19scamps92 please read, I’m saying that the prices in general already were a lot higher BEFORE inflation. Not recent price hikes
I lived and worked 2 years in Switzerland. I worked there because you make more money. That is because the taxes are lower. Unlike the Netherlands. The Dutch tax rates are insane. They even have a wealth tax. Meaning if you have 100k in the bank you pay a fixed tax rate on it. Even if the money is your retirement savings. Insane. Great country for poor people and refugees.
Living now in Switzerland for one year, it's funny to see how people claim the country is expensive to live in. It is extremely cheap country. For me, price is not defining if a country is cheap or expensive to live in (again, live in, other thing is travel to for holidays). What defines a country being cheap or expensive to live in is the salary you get vs. cost of life. Here you can see how someone in an Internship is getting 2 or even 3K swiss francs a month. Renting a room can go from as cheap as 400-500 swiss francs to 1.000 swiss francs and the health insurance about 350 CHF. Having that said, an intern can move out from house of parents, pay the rent by his own, his health insurance, pay for his food, etc and still even make a tiny saving. I come from Spain, where people on their late 20's with 6-10 years of working experience, really struggle to be able to move out from house of parents and pay the bills, no leisure bills on top, just survival. So, is it Switzerland expensive? No, it's not. It's quite cheap. An average job can pay you enough for moving out from your parents home, pay rent and all basic needs, add a car on top and nice holidays in summer. In other countries, an average job will pay for survival, and that's it. If you put the focus on the number near the loaf of bread, then, YES, the swiss loaf of breed is really expensive.
Because Switzerland was already inflated for a very long time.
Nope. The Swiss Franc has appreciated from 4 Francs to a USD in 1971 to 0.95 to a USD today. THAT's what a strong currency looks like. From this vantage point, its the greenback that is highly inflated. Just a thought... 😊🤓
Out of all the expensive things in Switzerland, time is the most expensive.
My mind is blown.

A side note about the chocolate bar (Toblerone) used in the video as a form of swiss representation:
In the near future it will mostly be produced in Bratislava Slovakia. So not much swissness in it anymore. 😑 But sadly that is true for most chocolate advocated as swiss chocolate nowadays.
Toblerone is already bought 1990 from the USA (Mondelez), so it isnt swissness for a long time.
It loses all swiss references in the process so you cannot say that swiss chocolates cheat, as those who do not respect the rules are no more swiss and are no more able to show swiss cross, or Cervin mountain, or "Swiss made" etc
@@sammybeutlin2763 yeah but it was still produced in Switzerland. Not anymore. Now they have to get ride of the matterhorn and the „swiss chocolate“ lettering on the packaging as those are protected.
@@rafaelw8115 true, but I am afraid the main ingredient is quite often, and sadly, sugar
@@dgu8240 Czechoslovak chocolate 😹
I love watching your videos, they are very informative and helpful. You have a great teaching style that makes it easy to follow along.
Nice to see rich people doing well! 👍🏾
Toblerone is not swiss chocolate anymore, it is produced in Slovakia by Mondelez, it will lose its matterhorn on the packaging as well as it has lost the swiss made label
Switzerland anyway is much better Chocolate then Toblerone.
And then this carefully crafted and maintained image tumbled down with Credit Suisse....
and all that becomes of a few greedy bankers….
Unlike many countries in the world we do not print money to balance our economy. We put the money that most nations deposit in our banks to work for us. According to the SBA, China alone has got 3.5 trillion euros in our banks
The way the moderator broke off pieces of that Toblerone bar was decidedly unSwiss. Swiss press down on the bar with their thumb, breaking off each piece inward. Avoids melted chocolate on your hands.
Sad thing is that toblerone wont be swiss anymore

Government/Debt to GDP is relatively very low. Switzerland experienced supply chain logjams like the rest of the world which caused rising prices, but they didn’t debase their currency through credit expansion.
What has debt to do with that?

7:10, you indicate US food prices increase of 11.9%. This is sadly not our personal experience here in California. I think its rather 50% to 100%. No matter how much we try, we virtually never spend less than $100-$150 for quite ordinary items, such as eggs, butter, bread, fruit. Food insecurity in the US is on the raise.
Switzerland has a smaller population than London! You can't compare an 8 million people country against an 80 million people country like Germany! Easier to regulate stuff when you have less people and less resources
That size example is bullshit, because with more people you also get more ressources.
Or do you think Berlin is 4 times worse than Köln, because it's 4 times bigger?
Naw. Easier when you have a direct democracy.
I don't know what you mean by Inflation.. but we feel inflation here too! It's not very high compared to other advanced nations, but high compared to pre COVID prices.
Great job, the author definitely knows his stuff.
Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) was the 16th largest bank in the US, and it wasn't subject to the most strict controls. How many banks actually are subject to those controls, besides the big four? Any bank could suffer a run and fail, and if that happens to a community level or even state level bank it probably won't upset the national economy or ecosystem of banks, but any multi-state bank should be more closely watched
Government policy has thrown the future under the bus for decades. The day of judgment is near. I predict an 80% drop in the stock market. Investors will abandon stocks in favor of real estate. There will be no money in banks... You must devise a strategy for survival

Inflation is largely a monetary phenomenon of too much money chasing too few goods and services. The Swiss kept growth in their money supply tightly linked to growth in the Swiss Economy and that's why inflation has stayed in check.
No, inflation is the result of record corporate profits. CEOs (yes, all of them) realized they could crank up prices, and when their customers didn't flee, they cranked prices up more.
@@stevechance150 Clearly, you've never studied economics. And odds are that you are a liberal democrat. Oops, I think those are redundant statements.
@@stevechance150 what part of inflation do you not understand? you do realize that when you have rampant inflation and money is no longer worth as much as it was prior to inflation, you now need more money to keep the same buying power. imagine trying to act like you are informed, yet you cannot understand that if a business used to generate $10 of profit for their product or service, but now because of inflation you need $14 to maintain the same amount of buying power your business has ALWAYS generated. if you want to maintain the same amount of buying power you have always generated, you have to raise your prices, and now there is "record breaking profits." but in reality that is nothing but inflation adjusted numbers.
@@stevechance150 yeah thats about the most ignorant statement on inflation ive seen.
please explain how you think that works? how do cooperate profits lead to money supply increasing?
No it's not. Because this inflation has its roots in the incredible increase in energy and fuel prices. And this rapid increase has a multiplier effect on the entire economy, from industry to households. Behind the increase in the growth of these key commodities is the geopolitical situation and the speculation of major players and investors.

There is a lesson for India in there, about privatizing energy. In the last 9 years, a lot of privatization was done in key energy spaces(like coal) to benefit a few parties. I'm afraid it is going to hurt our economy in the long run, as mentioned in this video.
