It would seem felicitous for householders to move to reduce their tax bill. But a comparison based on tax rates alone shows only part of the story. On top of the different levels of taxation, there is a host of mandatory deductions and fixed costs which impacts the financial consequences of a move.

Consistent with these requirements, Credit Suisse has raised a total of approximately net CHF 10 billion by the sale of Credit Suisse Group treasury shares, by issuing new Credit Suisse Group shares through mandatory convertible bonds and by issuing non-dilutive hybrid tier 1 capital.

Economists at Credit Suisse forecast slower growth of 1.0% and easing inflation of 1.4%. Switzerland will thus not escape the global slowdown in growth, and economic growth will be below its potential. However, the economic downturn will be contained, especially as the Swiss economy will grow 2009 by at least 1% for the sixth year in a row. The last time this happened was in the late 1980s.

Today, emerging market economies are a central factor in the global economy due to their increasing integration in world markets and rapidly rising local demand. In this new, multipolar global economy, their economic independence from the US and Europe is increasing. The populations of the emerging market nations are set to take over the role of prime growth driver of the global economy from US consumers. Investors can profit from these structural changes in the emerging markets and thereby achieve attractive returns.
