As of 27 June 2022, adults with protection status S will be able to make a one-off exchange of up to UAH 10,000 at selected UBS and Credit Suisse branches. This currently corresponds to a value of approximately CHF 300. The exchange rate will be set by the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU).
The Federal Council approved a corresponding proposal for the cash exchange at its meeting of 22 June 2022. The SNB is handling the operational implementation of the exchange on behalf of the Confederation; to this end, it has concluded appropriate

For the first time, the published data also comprises bank office data (Domestic office perspective) in addition to the data from individual financial statements (Parent company perspective) and consolidated financial statements (Group perspective).
The Domestic office perspective shows data on the business of banks including their branches in Switzerland (cf. Explanatory video ‘Perspectives on banking statistics’). These data are particularly relevant in the context of the national accounts. For example, the SNB uses the data when compiling the balance of payments and the Swiss financial accounts.

20 days agoSwiss National Bank tightens monetary policy and raises SNB policy rate to −0.25%
The SNB is tightening its monetary policy and is raising the SNB policy rate and the interest rate on sight deposits at the SNB by half a percentage point to −0.25% to counter increased inflationary pressure. The tighter monetary policy is aimed at preventing inflation from spreading more broadly to goods and services in Switzerland. It cannot be ruled out that further increases in the SNB policy rate will be necessary in the foreseeable future to stabilise inflation in the range consistent with price stability over the medium term. To ensure appropriate monetary conditions, the SNB is also willing to be active in the foreign exchange market as necessary.
The SNB policy rate change
