Why Central Bank Total Assets matters for CHF
A rapidly expanding central bank balance sheet (QE) injects liquidity into the financial system and typically weakens the chf. Balance sheet reduction (QT, or quantitative tightening) is the opposite—draining reserves and supporting the chf.
How to interpret this series
Accelerating balance sheet growth is chf-negative as it signals monetary easing. Declining total assets indicate QT is underway, which is restrictive and tends to support the chf all else being equal.
