Free trade agreements

In addition to the EFTA Convention and the free trade agreement with the EU, Switzerland currently has a network of 33 free trade agreements with 43 partners. This does not include the most recent agreement with India, as it will not come into force until autumn 2025. Agreements are usually concluded through the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), which also covers Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. However, purely bilateral agreements have also been signed with the United Kingdom, Japan, China and the Faroe Islands.
