Trade and Investment with the UK

In 2006 Switzerland was the UK’s 2nd largest non-EU market after the US, with goods exports totalling more than £4 bn (£5.1 bn in 2005). Swiss consumers buy, on average, more British products than their French or German neighbours. Switzerland is the sixth largest investor in the UK, with Swiss companies estimated to provide over 100,000 UK jobs.
