Country comparison
Sight Deposits by Country
Sight deposits at the Swiss National Bank are commercial-bank and federal-government balances held overnight at the SNB. Weekly changes are widely interpreted as a real-time proxy for SNB FX-intervention activity.
Why compare Sight Deposits across countries?
When the SNB sells CHF to weaken the currency, it credits francs to commercial-bank sight-deposit accounts, so a sharp rise typically signals intervention. This is the single best high-frequency window into SNB activity between quarterly meetings, and it can move EUR/CHF on release.
How to read the country list
Watch week-over-week changes rather than the absolute level. Compare with EUR/CHF moves over the same week to corroborate intervention interpretation.
