Switzerland's consumer sentiment recovered from its slump in April after the relaxation of the measures to contain the coronavirus, survey data from the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, or SECO, showed Tuesday.

Expectations regarding general economic development improved significantly, with the index rising to -16.7 from -78.3.

The likelihood of making major purchases left April's low behind but remained well below average, with the relevant sub-index standing at -17.1 points versus -48.0 in the previous quarter.
