What is KOF Barometer?
The KOF Economic Barometer is a Swiss leading indicator compiled monthly by the KOF Swiss Economic Institute. It aggregates roughly 200 series into a single composite designed to lead Swiss GDP growth.
Why it matters for FX
Because the SNB's policy framework is heavily growth- and currency-driven rather than inflation-targeting in the conventional sense, the KOF reading is a meaningful CHF input. Sharp drops increase the case for SNB easing or further FX intervention.
