Abstract Text On September 6th, 2011, the Swiss National Bank introduced the currency floor (1.20 CHF for 1 EUR). This decision was in force until the 15th January 2015 and significantly benefitted the Swiss Economy (Zurbrügg (2015)). The purpose of the minimum exchange rate was to help the Swiss economy to find a situation of stability and security. Although it was commonly known that the SNB’s decision was not a permanent one (Fuster (2015)), the exchange rate was strongly affected nonetheless.
