Why FX Reserves matters for CHF
Large and rising FX reserves signal that Switzerland has the means to intervene in currency markets and defend a floor or cap on the chf. Declining reserves can signal either active intervention to support a weak currency or deteriorating external financing conditions.
How to interpret this series
Rising reserves generally signal capital inflows or export surpluses, both chf-supportive. Rapidly falling reserves may indicate the Swiss National Bank is defending an exchange rate level, which raises sustainability concerns.
