In January 2007, the total turnover on SWX and virt-x amounted to CHF 176.0 billion. That represents a 26.9 % increase compared to December 2006 and is attributable to heavier trading in shares, ETFs, international bonds and derivatives. Versus the comparable prior-year month, an 18.5 % increase in total turnover was recorded.
