SNB Maechler: Will continue to raise rates if see inflation projections above target
The Swiss National Bank will continue to raise rates if see inflation projections above target, SNB governing board member Andrea Maechler said on Thursday.
The battle against inflation has not been won despite a dip in Swiss inflation to 3.0% in October from 3.3% in September, Maechler told Swiss business newspaper L'Agefi said last week.
In its latest inflation forecast, the SNB expects inflation to decline to 2% by the third quarter of 2023, the top end of its price stability goal which it defines as inflation of 0-2%.
