SNB’s Jordan: Strong appreciation pressure on franc during times of uncertainty

Following the Swiss Nation Bank (SNB) monetary policy announcement, Chairman Jordan said that there is strong appreciation pressure on the franc during times of uncertainty while speaking at the post-policy press conference.

The SNB board member Andrea Maechler also commented on the exchange rate value, citing that it remains highly valued.

Further comments

“Had we not intervened; the franc would have appreciated significantly more.”

“A stronger appreciation would have placed an additional burden on the economy.”

“Trade-weighted franc is 1.5% stronger than in June.”
