This book is a guide in the minefield of Swiss real estate, narrated by a serial buyer who made plenty of mistakes so that you don't have to. Contents House hunting in a tricky market Real estate as an investment Price levels and market cycles Mortgage & tax optimisation The risks and rewards of off-plan buying Chalets as second homes Why you need to read this book Real estate in Switzerland is a funny old market. It is illiquid, opaque, of dubious value for money and generally difficult to navigate. Yet, people from the world over are drawn to it like moths to the flame. It feels as if the more inaccessible and complex it becomes, there more prospective buyers are intoxicated by it. One reason for this, I believe, is that Swiss property is all things to all people. It has long been a safe haven investment thanks to the Swiss franc's legendary strength and low interest rates. However, it conveniently doubles up as a holiday destination as well as a secondary residence for long-term expatriates and economic refugees, or serves as a discreet address away from the public eye for politically exposed people. At the same time, Swiss property appeals to many an aspiring family seeking a practical and relaxed country to settle in, as well as an asset that is largely uncorrelated with the vagaries of global financial markets. Without a doubt, the Swiss property market follows its own rules, unperturbed by what happens in the rest of the world. The reason arguably lies in Switzerland's peculiar history. It is not the only country to have gone from abject poverty to considerable wealth within a matter of decades, but it stands out as having done so despite being entirely deprived of natural resources, energy and international clout, all while lacking access to maritime trade. It is hardly surprising that undergoing such a kind of rapid change in national fortunes would give rise to one or the other contradiction in the way things work, of which in the property sector there are plenty. However, time and again, when frugal habits of the rather recent past clash with the brashest and most plutocratic expectations of our time, it is fascinating to witness how it all tends to work out surprisingly well in the end. Looking back at my own real estate history in this country over the past fifteen years, including the opportunities that I seized, those that I missed, the lessons learnt, the insights gained, bullets dodged, victories clawed from the jaws of defeat, followed by defeats clawed from the jaws of victory and lessons unlearned have been so abundant that I felt compelled to put pen to paper and write a cautionary tale about it all. I had to write this book, if only because I couldn't stand the naivety of people who oddly expect everything to work like in their home country and inevitably get frustrated when that isn't the case. But there is more to it than that. This book stems from a deep-seated love-hate relationship with real estate that is seeking a productive outlet, at long last, in being turned to the service of readers. It was high time that some light was shed on this thorny subject. The local property market was literally crying out for it. And so was I.

Using longitudinal data from the Swiss Household Panel to zoom in on continuity and change in the life course, this open access book describes how the lives of the Swiss population have changed in terms of health, family circumstances, work, political participation, and migration over the last sixteen years. What are the different trajectories in terms of mobility, health, wealth, and family constellations? What are the drivers behind all these changes over time and in the life course? And what are the implications for inequality in society and for social policy? The Swiss Household Panel is a unique ongoing longitudinal survey that has followed a large sample of Swiss households since 1999. The data provide the rare opportunity to go beyond a snapshot of contemporary Swiss society and give insight into the processes in people’s lives and in society that lie behind recent developments.

From the City of London to the deserts of Arabia, the former Soviet states, and sub-Saharan Africa, this book traces the life and career of a man who has been a banker in some remarkably challenging environments over a period of half a century. The author has counted bales of cotton in Yemen, dodged Israeli bombs in Lebanon, financed exports from Romania in the days of Ceausescu, been a banker to a member of a ruling family in the Gulf, conducted business in the sauna of a bank in Kazakhstan, and met Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. In his spare time, he has taken an active part in amateur theater groups in the countries in which he has lived, served as a member of committees administering cemeteries, and been a warden appointed by the British Embassy to assist their citizens in times of trouble. As well as being an engrossing story of banking in many varied countries, the book includes chapters about the background to the problems of some of the places in which he has worked that show a clear understanding of the history and politics involved. Having lived in the Middle East for much of his life, he comments on the Arab Spring, and his long and diverse banking career has enabled him to write incisively on events in the industry in recent years. He draws conclusions on both of these momentous stories.
