Consultation on the partial revision of the SERV Act

The Federal Council has launched the consultation on the partial revision of the SERV Act

The partial revision of the Act is intended to facilitate access to SERV’s products and reduce the administrative burden. The bill paves the way for simpler procedures and more efficient processing. This will ease the burden on exporters, banks and SERV itself.

The bill takes into account developments in the international export and financing landscape. In particular, it aims to expand the options for insuring export transactions and their financing, and to facilitate the involvement of Swiss suppliers in large-scale, internationally structured projects. Swiss SMEs in particular, which wish to participate in such projects as subcontractors or suppliers, are set to benefit from this.

All interested stakeholders in Switzerland are now invited to comment on the draft bill by 4 February 2027.

The Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education and Research (EAER) has published the following press release to mark the launch of the consultation:
