    Switzerland

    By Ma. Rizza Leonzon // 19 August 2010

    Switzerland is expected to post growth of at least 2.5 percent this year, fueled by booming exports.

It said the move led to a loss of 2.8 billion Swiss francs (USD2.7 billion) in the first half of the year, The New York Times reports.
