The Swiss government on Wednesday announced a second series of financial measures amounting to 700 million Swiss francs (about 606.7 million U.S. dollars) to stabilize the economy, Xinhua reported.
The lion's share of the stimulus package will be directed at the transportation sector, the official Swissinfo news website reported.
The new measures are expected to be approved by parliament next month, it added.
The Swiss Economics Ministry said the new stimulus is necessary, as the economic outlook has worsened since the first-phase stimulus worth 341 million Swiss francs (about 295.8 million U.S. dollars) was introduced in November.
The state coffers in 2009 will finance a series of projects in rail and road transport, regional development and applied research.
A considerable amount will also be spent on the environment and energy. The remainder will be made available to modernize buildings and boost tourism marketing.
"It's important that we have projects that will create jobs and can be implemented quickly," Economics Minister Doris Leuthard told Swissinfo.
"We also want every region in the country to benefit ... and it 's psychologically important for people to see that the construction sector is moving ahead," she said.
