Switzerland: Housing and utilities prices

The index measures the cost of housing and utilities in Switzerland compared to other countries. Higher values mean more expensive housing, gas, electricity and other heating fuels. The data are from the 2021 edition of the International Comparison Program of the World Bank which updates the series every four years. The housing and utilities price information for Switzerland and other countries remains valid for a few years as relative prices change slowly over time. See the global rankings for that indicator or use the country comparator to compare trends over time.
