Why SNB Balance Sheet matters for CHF

The SNB's balance sheet size directly reflects its FX intervention activity. When the SNB buys foreign currency to weaken the CHF, its balance sheet expands. Declining assets may signal it is allowing the CHF to appreciate.

How to read it

A rapidly expanding SNB balance sheet is CHF-negative as it signals active intervention to weaken the franc. A plateau or decline suggests the SNB is comfortable with prevailing CHF levels or is allowing it to strengthen.

What to watch next
