Switzerland’s economy rebounded in the third quarter as growth in services made up for a lackluster showing in manufacturing.

Gross domestic product, adjusted for large sports events, increased 0.3% in the three months through September, according to data published on Friday. Revised numbers showed that it had contracted 0.1% in the previous period, rather than stalling as initially reported.
