Internationale Währungskooperation

The Swiss National Bank participates in international monetary cooperation. For this purpose, it works jointly with the Federal Council (art. 5 para. 3 of the National Bank Act).

The objective of international monetary cooperation is to promote the functioning and stability of the international monetary and financial system and help overcome crises. As a globally integrated economy with a major financial centre and its own currency, Switzerland derives particular benefit from a stable international monetary and financial system.
