Why it matters

President of the world's most stable democracy — neutrality as a centuries-old institution.
Cut the threatened US tariff from 39% to 15%, lifting the 2026 outlook; inflation at just 0.6%.
Neutrality used for mediation and humanitarian service, not evasion — jobs protected without principle abandoned.
The honest debit: 0.9% growth is stability at the edge of stagnation — famous, but modest.
