	Has Switzerland Sold Out to Washington, London, & Wall Street?

		The Swiss LIBOR rate is set based upon the need for maintaining an inflation target of less than 2 percent inflation per year.
		This is due to the fact that the Swiss constitution used to have a mandate requiring the currency to be backed 40 percent with gold reserves.

		Two proposals before Parliament have been in the center of the storm: one would remove the officially-mandated gold-backing of the Swiss franc and the other would sell gold reserves to finance a Swiss "Foundation for Solidarity" to compensate Holocaust victims as well as victims of poverty, catastrophes, and human rights abuses around the world.
		In Switzerland's case, the current proposal in the Swiss Parliament which would reform the monetary system and eliminate the constitutional gold backing of the Swiss franc is not new.
		Whatever the drawbacks and advantages of the proposal now before Parliament, Swiss monetary authorities are acutely aware of the need to maintain confidence in the Swiss franc, and the psychological support, if nothing else, gold-backing lends.

	swissinfo - Conflicting opinions over strong Swiss franc
		The Swiss economics minister, Pascal Couchepin, was also quoted as saying that the strong franc’s exchange rate could be “improved”.
		The strength of the franc, due in part to its status as a safe haven currency, has prompted moans from the Swiss export industry and the tourist sector, whose competitiveness is hit when the franc rises.
		Usually, countries that have a strong currency are also economically strong and the Swiss franc has actually been weak against the US dollar over the last two years,” he told swissinfo.

		According to the Swiss Bank Corporation, PEER is more reliable in predicting Swiss franc exchange rates relative to the dollar and to the yen.
		The Swiss franc's current low valuation should act as a spur to exports, while expected fiscal stimulus and improved prospects for Europe, should push demand and the economy along the road to recovery.
		This cyclical improvement in the Swiss economy should provide the backdrop for the currency's renewed ascent in the second half of this year, particularly in tandem with an overheating scenario in the U.S. With low Swiss interest rates, investors preferred high-yielding dollar and other vehicles.

	Forbes.com: US rate signals suggest dlr upturn vs Swiss franc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Currency analysts said the dollar is losing attraction as a funding currency in favor of the Swiss franc, especially among speculators and hedge funds, given the expected upward pressure on short-term U.S. interest rates and Switzerland's near-zero funding costs.
		Analysts say the Swiss franc has been a clearly attractive funding currency because the Swiss National Bank is likely to keep interest rates low at 0.25 percent given persistently low inflation.
		"The Swiss franc is a natural funding currency in periods of global reflation, such as the one we are currently going through," Patelis wrote in a research note.

	Swiss Franc as a Safe Haven
		The Swiss franc finally appeared to be reclaiming its tarnished mantle as the ultimate "safe haven" currency on Thursday.

		Some years ago, around 1970 from memory, the Swiss government introduced negative interest rates for newly opened foreign accounts, precisely because they were alarmed at the upward pressure on their exchange rates caused by money seeking a safe haven.

	Seeking safety in the Swiss - Jan. 15, 1999
		The upshot, analysts say, is a perception that the euro may be wobblier on its feet until the crisis passes than the stolid Swiss franc, which has edged up steadily against both the dollar and euro in recent days.
		The Swiss franc has progressively firmed against the euro since the Brazil crisis erupted Wednesday, though some of the currency's gains were pared Friday.
