Switzerland Consumer Price Index in November 2016: -0.3 percent against 2015, -0.2 percent against last month

Swiss consumer price inflation remain lowest compared to Eurozone and U.S.

Swiss consumer price inflation remain the lowest in comparison with different countries in the euro zone and the United States. Consumer prices in the U.S. are driven by rising health care costs and asset price inflation in shelter.

In Europe, we see the opposite phenomenon: Rents in Italy or Spain are steady or falling. In Germany and Switzerland rent control prevents that asset price inflation moves into consumer prices.

In Switzerland, more and more supply is helping to contain housing costs.

Landesindex der Konsumentenpreise im November 2016

Konsumentenpreise fallen um 0,2 Prozent

Neuchâtel, 06.12.2016 (BFS) – Der Landesindex der Konsumentenpreise (LIK) sank im November 2016 gegenüber dem Vormonat um 0,2 Prozent und erreichte den Stand von 100,1 Punkten (Dezember 2015=100 Punkte). Im Vergleich zum Vorjahresmonat betrug die Teuerung -0,3 Prozent. Dies geht aus den Zahlen des Bundesamts für Statistik (BFS) hervor.
Der Rückgang des LIK um 0,2 Prozent gegenüber dem Vormonat ist hauptsächlich auf tiefere Preise für Pauschalreisen und Hotelübernachtungen zurückzuführen. Weniger bezahlt wurde auch für Heizöl und Mobilnetz-Kommunikation, während die Wohnungsmieten stiegen.
