GVI Forex Swiss National Bank Policy and Economic Profiles
SWISS NATIONAL BANK Policy Objective: The National Bank equates price stability with a rise in the national consumer price index (CPI) of less than 2% per annum. In so doing, it takes account of the fact that not every price movement is necessarily inflationary. Furthermore, it believes that inflation cannot be measured accurately. Measurement problems arise, for example, when the quality of goods and services improves. Such changes are not properly accounted for in the CPI; as a result, inflation, as measured by the CPI, will be slightly overstated.
The chart above shows year/year CPI and the Swiss goal of less than 2% for this price index.
The chart above shows the current three month libor rate, the current
