The paper highlights that Swiss real GDP has been stagnant since 1990, after expanding at an average rate of some 1 3/4 percent during 1977-90. The evidence presented indicates that potential output growth during 1991-95 was significantly below historical average. This paper also tries to assess the possible effects of stage 3 of European Monetary Union on Switzerland.
