What is SNB Balance Sheet?
The SNB balance sheet is the total assets held by the Swiss National Bank — overwhelmingly foreign-currency assets accumulated through years of intervention to cap CHF appreciation.
Why it matters for FX
The SNB balance sheet is structurally large relative to Swiss GDP (over 100 percent at peaks), and changes in its size track FX intervention and asset-purchase decisions. Both have direct CHF implications.
