Swiss voters reject stricter neutrality rules that would curb Nato cooperation

Swiss voters have decisively rejected a proposal to tighten the country's neutrality rules, with 70% of voters opposing the move. This means Switzerland will continue to cooperate with Nato and maintain sanctions against Russia. The rejection of this proposal is significant for markets, as it reduces uncertainty and maintains the status quo in Switzerland's foreign policy. This stability is likely to have a positive impact on the Swiss economy and the Swiss Market Index, as investors prefer clarity and consistency in a country's policies.
