Absolutely, world-class universities (not just one), highly educated workforce, top rankings everywhere, largest companies in the world, high-tech companies etc. It's just that other countries narrowed the gap. 30 years ago, many countries in the world were poor and backward. They narrowed the gap to Switzerland. It's natural that Switzerland doesn't have the same wide lead anymore. But that's a good thing (for Switzerland and the rest of the world).
