A Somewhat Different Kind of Freedom

[link removed]

by Mario Bonato and Samuel Rutz

This year’s Avenir Suisse Freedom Index includes a special evaluation focusing on the Central Swiss cantons of Uri, Schwyz, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Lucerne, and Zug. The analysis shows that Central Switzerland is more restrictive than other cantons when it comes to civil liberties. In the economic sphere, on the other hand, the region excels with moderate fiscal capacity utilization and a low fiscal burden.

Other Highlights:​​​​​

The situation could still cloud over again because of outages at multiple French nuclear power plants or a protracted period of very cold weather. Nevertheless, Europe’s gas storage facilities are full, and despite the dry summer, the levels of water in Switzerland’s pumped-storage reservoirs are just about at average level. The situation is better than one might have expected at the beginning of fall. Does this mean we’re out of the woods?

The index looks at the economic, social, and political dimensions. The latter two include the dissemination of information, ideas, perceptions, and people.
