After our introductory remarks, we will take questions from journalists as usual. Monetary policy decision I will begin with our monetary policy decision. We have decided to lower the SNB policy rate by 0.5 percentage points to 0.5%. The new policy rate applies from tomorrow, 13 December 2024. Banks’ sight deposits held at the SNB will be remunerated at the SNB policy rate up to a certain threshold, and at 0% above this threshold. We also remain willing to be active in the foreign exchange market as necessary. Underlying inflationary pressure has decreased again this quarter. With today’s easing of monetary policy, we are taking this development into account. We will continue to monitor the situation closely, and will adjust our monetary policy if necessary to ensure inflation remains within the range consistent with price stability over the medium term. Inflation forecast Allow me to address the development of inflation in more detail. Inflation in the period since the last monetary policy assessment has again been lower than expected. It decreased from 1.1% in Augu post: SNB CHAIRMAN STATES: TODAY'S CUT PREVENTED A LOWER INFLATION FORECAST. post: SNB CHAIRMAN: FUTURE INFLATION PATH UNCERTAINTY REMAINS HIGH
