🇨🇭 Switzerland

Switzerland (ISO-Code: CH) is located in Central Europe and borders Germany, France, Italy, Austria, and Liechtenstein. Politically, it is a federal republic with direct democracy and 26 cantons. The climate varies regionally from alpine climate in the high-altitudes to a mild temperate climate in the lowlands, with cold winters and warm summers. Economically, Switzerland is characterized by a strong financial sector, highly developed industry, precision engineering, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, as well as a significant services sector. In foreign trade, the country primarily exports machinery, chemical and pharmaceutical products, precision instruments, and foodstuffs, while relying on imports of raw materials, energy, and finished goods. Logistically, Switzerland has a dense road and rail network, efficient airports, and transit corridors through the Alps, making it a central hub in European freight transport. The national currency is the Swiss Franc (CHF). Investments in infrastructure, digitalization, and sustainable logistics solutions enhance international competitiveness and integration into global supply chains.
