The Swiss National Bank is leaving the SNB policy rate unchanged at 0%. Banks' sight deposits held at the SNB will be remunerated at the SNB policy rate up to a certain threshold. The discount for sight deposits above this threshold is unchanged at 0.25 percentage points. If necessary, the SNB has an increased willingness to intervene in the foreign exchange market. The SNB thereby counters a rapid and excessive appreciation of the Swiss franc, which would jeopardise price stability in Switzerland. Inflation has risen in recent months as a result of higher energy prices. Medium-term inflationary pressure, however, is virtually unchanged compared with the last monetary policy assessment. The SNB's monetary policy is appropriate to keep inflation within the range consistent with price stability and it supports economic development. The SNB will continue to monitor the situation and adjust its monetary policy if necessary, in order to ensure price stability. As expected, inflation has risen since the last monetary policy assessment, from 0.1% in February to 0.6% in May. This increase was mainly attributable to higher prices for oil products. The other goods and services made little contribution to the rise in inflation.
