IMF Executive Board Concludes 2015 Article IV Consultation with Switzerland
May 27, 2015--On May 18, 2015, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation1 with Switzerland.
Switzerland's economy has performed relatively well in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, with growth reaching 2 percent in 2014.
However, the economic environment became more complicated in late 2014, as increased capital inflows forced the Swiss National Bank (SNB) to start intervening heavily to defend its exchange rate floor of 1.20 francs per euro. The SNB eventually exited the floor on January 15, 2015, while also cutting its policy rate (the interest rate on deposits at the SNB exceeding 20 times required reserves) to -0.75 percent. Following these moves, the exchange rate appreciated substantially before stabilizing at around 1.05 francs per euro.
