From the Paper:

"With its high per capita income and its prosperous and liberal trade-based economy, Switzerland presents much opportunity for foreign import and export businesses. The country's close links to the economies of Western Europe and the United States provides private business with a strategic point of entry into the European market. After the economic setback in the mid-1990s, Switzerland has bounced back with steady economic growth since 1997. The country saw an economic growth rate of 2.2 percent in 2002, a rate that many economists believe will continue in the long-term."
