  "account": "The Swiss inflation rate rose sharply in August, reaching the highest level in two years, according to the country's Federal Office of Statistics (BFS). The annual inflation climbed to 0.8 percent from 0.4 percent in July, a figure that surprised analysts who had predicted only a 0.5 percent increase for the year. The last time inflation was higher was in August 2024. Throughout the past months, it had fluctuated between 0.3 and 0.6 percent, but even at the higher August value, it remained within the range considered acceptable for price stability by the Swiss National Bank (SNB), which sets rates between 0 and 2 percent. The core inflation, excluding energy and fuel costs as well as fresh and seasonal products, also rose compared to July, albeit by a small margin, from 0.3 to 0.4 percent.",
  "summary": "Die Teuerung ist in der Schweiz im August deutlich gestiegen – den höchsten Stand seit zwei Jahren. Analysten hatten im Schnitt mit deutlich weniger gerechnet.",
