According to a statement, the annual meeting discussed the global and Swiss economic situation, inflation trends, and monetary policy challenges.

If necessary, the central bank is also prepared to take action in the foreign exchange market to ensure an appropriate monetary environment.” SNB Governor Martin Schlegel and Central Bank Supervisory Committee Head Barbara Janom Steiner attended the meeting with the government. Officials also emphasized that Swiss inflation is at a low level by international standards. Despite some acceleration in recent months, it is still within the SNB's 0-2% target range.
