Macrodata: Swiss Economic Data
Inflation, SARON & the franc
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
SARON, EUR/CHF, inflation & more — with widgets, alerts when new figures land, and impact cards that show what the numbers mean for you.
Switzerland's key economic indicators — clearly explained, always current, at a glance.
Macrodata is the native companion to macrodata.ch: eight series from the Swiss National Bank, SECO and the Federal Statistical Office, with interactive charts, plain-language editorial context, and widgets for your Home and Lock Screen.
THE EIGHT INDICATORS
• Gross domestic product (GDP)
• Consumer prices / inflation (CPI)
• Unemployment rate
• EUR/CHF exchange rate
• SARON reference rate
• Industrial production
• Exports
• Employment
UNDERSTAND, DON'T JUST WATCH
• Every indicator comes with a plain-language article: what is measured, why it matters, and what the current reading means.
• "What does this mean for me?" — impact cards translate SARON into interest on your mortgage, inflation into your purchasing power, and the exchange rate into your next euro purchase. Your inputs never leave the device.
• Historical context: "Lowest since 2020" instead of bare numbers.
ALWAYS INFORMED
• A notification when new figures are published
• Your own threshold alerts, for example "EUR/CHF below 0.92"
• Widgets with a chart for your Home Screen, compact values for the Lock Screen
• Add upcoming release dates to your calendar with one tap
• Automatic refresh in the background
FOR THE CURIOUS, STUDENTS AND PROFESSIONALS

• Comparison view: two indicators overlaid, indexed to 100 or as z-scores
• Data table and CSV export for your own analysis
• Share charts as an image
