Petra Tschudin, a board member of the Swiss National Bank (SNB), has indicated that the central bank is considering various policy options, including foreign exchange (FX) intervention and the potential for negative interest rates. Tschudin emphasized the importance of maintaining the ability to set interest rates below zero to effectively manage the strength of the Swiss franc. The SNB remains committed to price stability, even amidst generational changes within its leadership. Recent discussions have reignited the topic of negative interest rates in Switzerland, reflecting ongoing concerns about currency strength and economic stability.
