"Interest Rate Dynamics and Monetary Policy Implementation in Switzerland"

Puriya Abbassi, Dieter Nautz, Christian Offermanns

Zusammenfassung:
The maturity of the operational target of monetary policy is a distinguishing feature of the SNB's operational framework of monetary policy. While most central banks use targets for the overnight rate to signal the policy-intended interest rate level, the SNB announces a target range for the three-month Libor. This paper investigates the working and the consequences of the SNB's unique operational framework for the behavior of Swiss money market rates before and during the financial crisis.
