Swiss companies invested $27 billion in the US between January and April, as Switzerland moves to fulfil a pledge to sharply increase investment following a tariff agreement with Washington, NZZ am Sonntag reported.
The figure was contained in an internal email from the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce to its members seen by the newspaper, it said.
Switzerland and the US has earlier said that Swiss companies would invest $200bn in the US over the next five years. The pledge formed part of a preliminary agreement under which US President Donald Trump reduced punitive tariffs on Swiss goods to 15 per cent from 39pc, after imposing the higher rate at the beginning of August.
