Regions in Switzerland are performing well in many respects. They have high
levels of GDP per capita and low unemployment rates, and some regions show
impressive growth rates. In addition, Swiss regions have not been confronted
with the challenges faced by many similar regions in the OECD, such as limited
access to services and population decline due to ageing or emigration.
Regional labour productivity growth still requires further policy attention.
In order to improve regional economic performance, Switzerland introduced the
New Regional Policy (NRP) in 2008, following the 2002 OECD Territorial Review
of Switzerland. The NRP reflects a clear shift of focus from infrastructure
and financial assistance towards economic support for the creation of value
added to the regional economy. The current review provides recommendations on
how the impact of the NRP can be increased through extended territorial
coverage, inter-cantonal co-operation, and co-ordination of sectoral policies.
This review also takes a close look at regional innovation policies, arguing
that a division of roles should be achieved, with the federal level funding
research and technology transfer on a country-wide basis, and cantons
providing innovation support according to functional areas.
