Switzerland has a free trade deal with India already and has a huge trade surplus (~25B). Free trade with china too and also a big trade surplus of around $20B.

I might be wrong, but isn't it due to them being a finance hub and/or Veblen goods?

These are a bit of a legacy thing that countries can't just develop.

  • CH to india key sectors include pharmaceutical products, electrical/electronic equipment, and organic chemicals.

    India to CH, gold, jewelry, equipment, textiles.
