- We will continue to observe the situation and adjust monetary policy where necessary to keep price stability
- Low interest rate is effective through the exchange rate
- Midterm inflation pressure is practically unchanged since the previous quarter
- We remain ready to intervene in the currency market as necessary
- Our monetary policy remains expansive
- Monetary policy also supports growth
- Uncertainty has declined slightly, compared to last assessment
- Expect global economy to grow moderately over the next quarters
- However, significant risks persist for global economy, with US tariffs among them
- Monetary policy is appropriate

- Important is the medium term outlook for inflation, which is basically unchanged
As expected, the SNB downplays the weaker inflation readings we saw in recent months and expects inflation to rise in the coming quarters due to the expansionary monetary policy and better economic growth forecasts.
As a reminder, the US lowered the tariffs on Swiss goods to 15% from the 39% they imposed previously, the highest level among European countries.
This just reaffirms once again that the SNB is unwilling to go back into NIRP (Negative Interest Rate Policy) without clear deflationary data or negative global economic shocks.
