The Swiss National Bank reported on Monday an annual loss of 132.5 billion Swiss francs ($141.54 billion), in line with the provisional calculations it announced in January. | Reuters
Most of last year’s shortfall could be attributed to the 131.5 billion francs lost on foreign currency positions, with its bond holdings losing 72 billion francs in value and its share portfolio worth 41 billion francs less.
The SNB, which is due to give its next monetary policy update on March 23, declined to comment on how the loss could affect its future monetary policy.
