SNB Chairman Jordan: Negative rates, readiness to intervene in FX market remains necessary and appropriate

  • Rates will eventually turn positive again, but can't say when

  • Future rate increase depends on inflation, FX developments.

  • Economy will be hurt if rates are increased now

  • For now, negative rates remain necessary and appropriate

  • SNB remains ready to intervene in FX market as and when needed

  • Abandoning negative rates now would hardly improve the situation for savers, pension funds, life insurers and banks.
