Swiss National Bank holds interest rate steady.
The Swiss National Bank announced today its decision to keep its interest rate unchanged. The current Libor target range is 2.25-3.25 percent with the SNB holding the rate in the center of that range for a 2.75 percent rate. Accompanying the interest rate decision, the SNB release stated that, "The international environment will probably result in a slowdown in economic activity in Switzerland." The Bank said that it forecasts "GDP growth between 1.5% and 2% for 2008" and "forecasting an average rate of inflation of 2% for 2008." Read the statement here(pdf).
