Manufacturing is of major importance to the Swiss. The country has to import most of its raw materials, however, so it cannot produce goods cheaply. It has earned its reputation by manufacturing high-quality "value added" goods, which it then exports. It is world-renowned for producing precision instruments, machine tools and watches, exporting some 28 million watches a year. It also exports refined metals, chemicals and precious stones, as well as finely-worked lace goods from imported cotton and chocolates from imported cocoa and locally produced milk.
Switzerland is a major international banking center. Until 1992, it was possible for anyone in the world to hold a confidential numbered bank account in Zurich or Geneva. Swiss banks could refuse to disclose the amount of money held in any account, and would keep the account-holder’s name secret. The Swiss government voted to discontinue the practice after pressure from other governments and international law enforcement agencies, who were concerned that it was too easy for international criminals to hide their money in Switzerland.
Despite the fact that confidential bank accounts are no longer possible, Switzerland continues to attract investments from firms and individuals in other countries. The main reason for this is the stability of the Swiss economy, and the resulting stability in its currency value. On paper, the country has a trade deficit, caused by the need to import so much of its food and raw materials. This is offset, however, by invisible earnings, to which the main contributor is tourism. Switzerland is a very popular tourist resort all year round. It is home to some of Europe’s most highly developed and famous ski resorts.
Geneva is headquarters for many United Nations agencies such as the Atomic Energy Agency (AEA) and the International Labor Organization (ILO), although Switzerland itself is not a member of the United Nations. When the UN was formed after World War II, the Swiss decided against joining, since some of the obligations of membership went against their traditional neutrality. The country does belong to many of the agencies affiliated to the United Nations, however, among them, the children’s international charity UNICEF. It has also sent money to aid peacekeeping forces around the world. Geneva is also home to many other international organizations, such as the emergency relief agency the International Red Cross.
