ZURICH (Reuters) -The Swiss National Bank is ready to intervene in the foreign currency markets and cut interest rates even below zero to prevent inflation falling below its price stability target, Chairman Martin Schlegel said on Tuesday.
“No one likes these negative interest rates, obviously the Swiss National Bank doesn’t like it,” Schlegel told an event in Zurich.
“But if we have to do it, the negative interest rates, we’re certainly prepared to do it again,” he added.
