There is a strong connection between Switzerland and Kosovo, as the Kosovar population is one of the largest diasporas in Switzerland (estimated at 300,000 people). This is due to the high level of migration from Kosovo to Switzerland in the 1990s.

Bilateral trade with Switzerland increased and Switzerland became the fifth most important destination for Kosovar goods exports. Foreign direct investment from Switzerland remained strong, making it the second largest investor in Kosovo. For 2024, the IMF forecasts a GDP growth rate of 3.8% for Kosovo. In terms of foreign direct investment, Switzerland remains the second largest foreign investor in Kosovo, just behind Germany and ahead of Turkey, as well as the second largest country of origin for diaspora remittances.
