The Consumer Spending Index is a joint initiative of the University of St. Gallen and Worldline. We use aggregated and anonymized payment data to shed light on consumer spending patterns in Switzerland. Feel free to explore our dashboard and consult the accompanying README file.
If you would like to receive regular updates on our latest insights and analyses, subscribe to our blogposts. For any questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at: monitoringconsumption@unisg.ch.
All data is freely available to the public and accessible on our website. If you use it for your own analyses, we would appreciate a reference to the white paper of our project:
