Beat Jans and Jon Pult - political twins or not? Analysis from a financial policy perspective

According to a report from www.nzz.ch, the two SP Federal Council candidates Beat Jans and Jon Pult are politically very close to each other. Both are committed to environmental protection, the expansion of the welfare state and an open foreign policy, while they tend to reject liberal economic policy and restrictive state finances. Both candidates are also against increasing the retirement age and for minimum wages. However, despite their similarities, there are also differences between the two politicians.

From a fiscal policy perspective, the choice of Jans or Pult could have an impact on the market and the financial industry. Neither candidate has yet developed a clear economic policy profile, which could mean a certain degree of uncertainty for citizens. It would be particularly important to find out how the two would behave as federal councilors, particularly with regard to tax and financial policy. Hearings before the election could provide important insights here. The fact that the two politicians have so far had little executive experience is also a factor that should be taken into account when assessing their suitability for the office of the Federal Council.

It remains to be seen how the Federal Assembly's decision will affect the market and the financial sector. However, an accurate forecast is difficult due to the candidates' lack of economic policy profile.
