Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs

SECO is the federal government's centre of expertise for all core issues relating to economic policy. Its aim is to ensure sustainable economic growth by putting in place the necessary regulatory and economic policy conditions.

Employers and employees should be able to benefit from growth-oriented policies, the removal of barriers to trade, and the reduction of Switzerland's relatively high prices.

SECO is also involved in efforts to reduce poverty in the form of economic development cooperation.
