Investing.com – Swiss industrial organization Swissmem on Thursday dismissed allegations that Switzerland is implementing policies aimed at creating excess industrial capacity. Previously, Washington launched a trade investigation into this practice with major trading partners.

Swissmem stated in a release that Switzerland has not pursued industrial policies aimed at artificially creating excess capacity through large subsidies, unlike other economic regions. The organization said that the accusations against Switzerland are clearly unfounded.

Swissmem added that Switzerland does not impose import tariffs on industrial goods, providing American companies with very open market access.

The industrial organization said that the Swiss government continues to negotiate tariff agreements with the United States, and it is crucial to protect Switzerland as a manufacturing hub from political motivations.
