I don't understand swiss frac is naturally strong and retains a value in it because it is backed by gold . And why suddenly they need this?
Due to their many close ties to the EU, the swiss have had to keep pace with the euro and debase the franc. That has caused high inflation in some assets like homes I believe and the swiss don't like that. Forcing a higher % of gold backing would make it infeasible to maintain the euro peg at 1.20
An angry clueless mob dictating monetary policy, however, can hardly be of any help.
