Together with the Federal Statistical Office, KOF is making central economic data for Switzerland available on opendata.swiss. An important step for economic research and teaching in Switzerland.

Making economic data on Switzerland more visible and accessible is one of KOF's concerns. For this reason, the KOF, together with the external pageSwiss Federal Statistical Office (FSO), has identified key economic data that are processed as Open Government Data (OGD) and made available on the external pageopendata.swiss platform.

Starting in July, over 20 datasets are available on the platform. In the following months, more datasets will gradually be made available to the public. While KOF continues to identify data sets of particular relevance for empirical economic research and teaching in the social sciences across departments, the FSO will process the data sets from its range and make them available. In addition to the FSO data sets, KOF indicators such as the Economic Barometer or the Employment Indicator will also be available. The goal is to have more than 40 data sets of relevant economic data available by autumn.
