* Switzerland is not a currency manipulator. * We have only acted to dampen the overvaluation of the Franc which threatened price stability. * Currency market interventions are not about gaining a competitive advantage for Switzerland. * Technical experts in the US understand the Swiss position. More: * Cannot rule out that negative rates could be a necessary instrument in the future. * National bank does not like negative rates. Just a couple of remarks on currency intervention. The SNB and the BoJ are the two most active ones among the major central banks in currency interventions. A currency manipulator though is a country that deliberately influences the exchange rate of its currency to gain unfair advantages in international trade. That's not the case for the SNB and the BoJ. They care about the impact on price stability. The part on negative rates is not new. We've heard those same comments for months.

Investing.com -- The Swiss National Bank (SNB) on Friday firmly denied allegations of currency manipulation. The central bank’s statement comes after the United States included Switzerland in its monitoring list of countries suspected of unfair currency and trade practices. The SNB made its position clear on Friday, stating, "The SNB does not engage in any manipulation of the Swiss franc." The statement was issued in response to the U.S. Treasury Report published on Thursday. The SNB emphasized that it does not aim to prevent adjustments in the trade balance or to secure unfair competitive advantages for the Swiss economy.

ZURICH (Reuters) -The Swiss National Bank does not engage in currency manipulation, the central bank said on Friday, after the United States added Switzerland to a list of countries being monitored for unfair currency and trade practices. "The SNB does not engage in any manipulation of the Swiss franc," the SNB said after the publication of the U.S. Treasury Report on Thursday. "It does not seek to prevent adjustments in the balance of trade or to gain unfair competitive advantages for the Swiss economy," it added. The SNB said it remained in contact with U.S. authorities to explain Switzerland’s economic situation and monetary policy, and would continue to use interest rates and forex market interventions to pursue its inflation target. The central bank declined to say whether further talks with the United States were planned, but said it acted in the interests of Switzerland, where it aims to keep annual price increases within a band of 0-2%. "Our monetary policy is geared towards the needs of Switzerland," the SNB said.

(Reuters) -No major U.S. trading partner manipulated its currency in 2024, the Treasury Department said on Thursday in the first semi-annual currency report of President Donald Trump’s new administration, although its "monitoring list" of countries warranting close attention grew to nine with the addition of Ireland and Switzerland and it issued a stern warning to China. While it did not label China a currency manipulator for now despite "depreciation pressure" facing its currency, the yuan, Treasury said the country "stands out among our major trading partners in its lack of transparency around its exchange rate policies and practices." "This lack of transparency will not preclude Treasury from designating China if available evidence suggests that it is intervening through formal or informal channels to resist (yuan) appreciation in the future," Treasury said in a statement. Treasury said China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, Germany, Ireland and Switzerland were on its monitoring list for extra foreign exchange scrutiny. Countries that meet two of the criteria - a trade surplus with the U.S. of at least $15 billion, a global account surplus above 3% of GDP and persistent, one-way net foreign exchange purchases - are automatically added to the list. Ireland and Switzerland were added due to their large trade and current account surpluses with the U.S. Trump in his first term labeled China a manipulator in August 2019, a move made then - as now - amid heightened U.S.-China trade tensions. The Treasury Department dropped the designation in January 2020 as Chinese officials arrived in Washington to sign a trade deal with the U.S. The latest report covers the final full year of the administration of Trump’s predecessor, Democrat Joe Biden, who over his four-year term never labeled any trading partner a currency manipulator but raised similar concerns over China’s behavior and lack of transparency. The report was released hours after Trump spoke with China’s leader Xi Jinping for the first time since returning to the White House amid an even more tense trade standoff between the world’s two largest economies, and more recently a battle over critical minerals. The countries struck a 90-day deal on May 12 to roll back some of the triple-digit, tit-for-tat tariffs they had placed on each other since Trump’s January inauguration.
