Inflation has been low in Switzerland partly because the way the SNB manages its reserve assets and the appreciation of the Swiss franc versus major currencies, which has been partly driven by this. The CHF is also a safe haven currency, and given the current geopolitical climate, naturally this has only serve to further strengthen the CHF. So that's why Switzerland is importing deflation, rather than experiencing slowing economic growth.

Precisely.
I think that should be "... imported and goods inflation were ... less negative ..."
Well spotted. Thank you.
