As over 60% of Swiss companies export goods and services abroad, knowing who they’re doing business with becomes critical. A missed payment or a supplier failure can quickly disrupt operations and strain financial resources. Recognizing these challenges, Coface has been at the forefront of providing comprehensive business information services tailored for the Swiss market. By delivering in-depth analyses of financial health and payment behaviors, Coface empowers Swiss businesses to make informed decisions, ensuring stability and fostering growth.

Coface’s Payment Survey reveals growing tension in Germany: late payments are back, and they’re hitting hard. 81% of firms report delays, up from 59% in 2021. And more business partners are asking to pay later, which puts extra strain. The metal industry stands out, but no sector is untouched. In this context, can business sentiment improve?
As global economic uncertainty deepens, Swiss exporters are entering a more fragile phase. Coface has just released its quarterly update on country and sector risk assessments (June 2025), and the signals are clear: economic risks are rising for Swiss SMEs operating internationally. The downgrade of 23 sectors and 4 countries marks a significant turning point.
#Economic publications
The Asia Payment Survey, conducted by Coface in Q1 2025, provides insights into the evolution of payment behavior and credit management practices of about 2,400 companies across the Asia Pacific region. Respondents are active in nine markets (Australia, China, Hong Kong SAR, India, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand) and 13 sectors.
Debt collection can be challenging, especially when doing business internationally. While the process may seem straightforward in your home country, once you step outside familiar borders, the rules of engagement shift dramatically. Cultural norms, legal frameworks, and payment behaviour all vary, making it essential to tailor your collection strategy to each specific market.
