Swiss National Bank's bar for negative interest rates is high, chairman says
BY Reuters | ECONOMIC | 11/21/25 08:43 AM ESTZURICH, Nov 21 (Reuters) - The Swiss National Bank has a high bar for lowering interest rates below zero, given that negative rates can be a big challenge for a lot of actors in the economy, SNB Chairman Martin Schlegel said on Friday.
However, the SNB is ready to go into negative rate territory if necessary to ensure price stability in the medium term, Schlegel added.
