The commodity trading sector has made a significant contribution to the City of Lugano’s recent revenues.

As highlighted during the presentation of the City’s financial statements on April 23, 2026, while not structural in nature, this contribution remains an important factor in understanding recent public finance trends and the city’s position as an international trading hub.

LCTA comment:

The Lugano Commodity Trading Association acknowledges the sector’s contribution to recent public revenues and reiterates the importance of a stable and competitive framework to sustain Lugano’s role as a leading international trading hub.
