The Swiss economy expanded unexpectedly in the fourth quarter, data released by the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) showed Thursday.
The gross domestic product rose 0.1 percent quarter-on-quarter during the fourth quarter against economists' expectations for a 0.1 percent contraction.
Positive contribution to growth came from gross fixed investments, private consumption as well as trade balance for goods, SECO said. Annually, GDP rose 1.3 percent, faster than the expected 1.1 percent growth.
