Yep, it has nothing to do with being the world leader in money laundering and a tax have lmao. This part of their wiki article is gold:

> The country ranks as one of the least corrupt countries in the world, while its banking sector is rated as "one of the most corrupt in the world"

It's like saying Norway is prosperous because they eat a lot of fish, no, they're prosperous because they sit on a shit ton of oil. The Swiss case is much more complex than "direct democracy"



Where are you citing this from?


As stated, the swiss wiki page. It's not like it's a well guarded secret either

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland#Economy_and_labour...


Interestingly Switzerland drastically changed its banking lawsin 2019, one year after the report from 2018 you are referencing.

What is the situation in 2025?
