  "summary": "The Swiss government has raised its 2026 GDP growth forecast to 1.7 percent, citing strong second-quarter growth. The State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) expert group attributed this increase to a stronger-than-expected contribution from foreign trade. However, the group remains cautious, noting risks from the Middle East conflict and higher oil and gas prices. The Swiss National Bank is scheduled to release its latest economic forecasts in September. The government maintains its 2027 inflation forecast at 0.6 percent, predicting it to remain steady in 2027.",
