As the head of Swiss Central Bank T. Jordan said:

  • Last year we had to intervene aggressively in the foreign exchange market to reduce the strong pressure on the franc exchange rate;
  • It is important to absorb this pressure to prevent the franc from strengthening too much;
  • The franc is a defensive asset and an indicator of the level of global uncertainty;
  • Last year, the Swiss economy showed better-than-expected resilience;
  • At the end of 2020, the country's GDP is likely to have contracted by about 3%;
  • The outlook for the economy remains uncertain and the situation is fragile;
  • Fiscal and monetary policy must remain expansionary.
