From snb.ch|Feb 28, 2012|5 commentsThe most recent financial and economic crisis has resulted in an unprecedented rise in public debt. However, a chronic tendency towards deficits and higher indebtedness has already been observed in a number of countries for the past few decades. Excessive public debt has a negative impact on long-term economic growth, and deprives a country of its freedom of action during a crisis. Sound state finances are thus essential for ensuring an economy's competitiveness and maintaining its social security system, and hence also for social ...

The Swiss National Bank will take further steps following its imposition of a cap on the franc if it believes they are warranted, the central bank's vice chairman said on Monday. After the safe-haven franc nearly touched parity with the euro, the SNB capped the currency at 1.20 francs per euro in September and pledged to defend that level with all means necessary. "If the franc suffers an appreciation that's no longer tolerable, then we take steps to push deflationary risks out of the way. And we did that," Vice Chairman Thomas ...

Switzerland is facing a growing threat from falling prices, official data showed Monday, just two months after the central bank announced a dramatic policy to drive down the value of the currency and maintain price stability. The Swiss consumer price index fell 0.1 percent in October from September and was also down 0.1 percent from a year earlier, the Federal Statistics Office said in Neuchâtel. That comes on the heels of a report last month showing producer and import prices falling 0.1 percent in September from August and 2 ...
