- The real external value of the Swiss Franc compared to the currencies of

the most important trade partners of Switzerland is measured by the

real export-weighted exchange rate index. It is often used as an indicator

for the assessment of the price competitiveness of an economy.

A fall in the exchange rate index means a depreciation of the Swiss

Franc.

The Gini coefficient is used to describe disparities of distribution. Often it is used to show the disparities of the income distrubution.

If the income is distributed exactly equally, which means every person earns the average income of the collectivity, the Gini coefficient

is 0. The Gini coefficient takes its highest value (<1) in case of a maximal uneven distrubution (one person earns the income of the

whole collectivity).

Communal Gini coefficients

Source: Swiss Federal Tax Administration, sotomo, compliation: FPRE.

In a commune with a low Gini coefficient, the demand of goods (e.g. apartments) depends mainly on the lifestyle and the attitude of the

households because the available income is distributed nearly equally.
