The IMF supports the SNB floor value
The IMF favours the SNB floor of CHF 1.20 against the common currency, as negative news coming from the Eurozone and particularly strong Swiss Franc have increased deflationary risks. If the Eurozone debt crisis worsens, the IMF anticipates the Franc to be under enduring pressure. Therefore, further monetary expansion might be necessary to maintain the floor value.
