1. Land
The development and use of land in Switzerland and environmental protection are equally important. Commercial and industrial buildings are only allowed to be constructed in designated areas. They are governed and regulated by 26 local states. The economic development and investment promotion departments of the local state governments can provide relevant information on industrial and commercial land development, available commercial Information on construction and all administrative procedures is coordinated, reviewed and approved by the economic development and investment promotion departments of the local state governments. For the actual lease and purchase costs per square meter of the land, investors can directly contact "Switzerland" Obtain the required information from the Foreign Trade and Investment Promotion Association (Switzerland Global Enterprise) and the economic development and investment promotion departments of the local state governments.
There are many different types of commercial real estate in Switzerland. Foreigners can also buy commercial real estate such as Swiss residences and office spaces. The economic development and investment promotion departments of the local governments will assist investors in finding construction sites and provide real estate information.
Switzerland does not have a "free trade zone". There are 19 large-scale "bonded warehouses" (Zolllager) in the country. Goods temporarily stored in transit can be stored in this warehouse without customs declaration or customs duties. The goods from the border to the bonded warehouse are still It is considered that the goods are re-exported to other countries during transportation, and then the importing countries will impose tariffs on the goods. The goods in the bonded warehouse shall not be processed, otherwise they shall be declared and taxed in accordance with the normal customs declaration procedures. Bonded warehouses in Switzerland are public facilities, but are operated by private storage companies.
2. Public resources
Switzerland has a reliable and complete national energy supply system, and most areas in Switzerland can generate electricity. Compared with neighboring countries, Switzerland already has a production structure without carbon dioxide emissions. In 2019, Switzerland’s national electricity production was 71.9 billion kWh. Power plants: 56.4%, nuclear power plants: 35.2%, traditional thermal and renewable energy power plants: 8.4%, compared with other European countries, Swiss oil prices are not directly linked to natural gas prices and have an energy structure with relatively low production costs. The connection of the European energy system can ensure the power supply demand of Switzerland even during the peak electricity consumption period when the heating demand is high in Switzerland in winter. In addition, Switzerland has a complete supply of oil and natural gas, and there is no risk of shortage.
The average price of drinking water from a Swiss mains supply is approximately CHF 2 per 1,000 liters (pro Kubikmeter). The average price of electricity per kilowatt-hour (pro Kilowattstunde) for residential use in Switzerland in 2020 was around CHF 20.7 cents (1 CHF equals 100 cents). The average price of oil per liter is around 1.42 to 1.5 Swiss francs.
3. Communication
The strong growth in the number of mobile phone users in Switzerland (universal mobile communications) and the advancement of Internet technology have had a great impact on the development of the Swiss infrastructure. Traditional domestic landline transport has been gradually replaced by mobile phones and VoIP voice calls. In 2016, more than 50% of households in Switzerland used broadband Internet, which exceeded the average level of OECD countries (30%). By the end of 2018, for Swiss residents, the 3G coverage area reached 99%, and the 4G coverage rate also reached 98%. In addition, Switzerland has publicly auctioned 5G bandwidth in February 2019. The three major Swiss telecommunications companies (Swisscom, Sunrise and Salt) have intensively built and expanded 5G mobile communication technology-related hardware equipment. By the end of 2019, the 5G coverage rate has reached 90% . In addition, Switzerland is actively setting up and developing optical fiber network systems. At present, the Swiss telephone and Internet market is in a state of contention, and various communication companies launch various plans from time to time, so it is impossible to provide a single data on the usage rate.
