Benign inflation keeps Swiss National Bank on hold
Despite prevailing benign inflationary trends, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) has opted to maintain its policy rate at 0%, reflecting a cautious yet stable monetary stance. As highlighted in the analysis, inflation in Switzerland remains comfortably within the SNB's target range of 0–2%, with recent data showing only a 0.6% year-on-year increase in May.
