The Swiss National Bank, the European Central Bank, the Narodowi Bank Polski and the Magyar Nemzeti Bank will continue one-week EUR/CHF foreign exchange swap operations

The Swiss National Bank, the European Central Bank, the Narodowi Bank Polski and the Magyar Nemzeti Bank are announcing that they will continue these one-week EUR/CHF foreign exchange swap operations at least until the end of July 2009 to support further improvements in the short-term Swiss franc funding markets. The interest rates used to calculate the fixed swap points will be aligned closer with market interest rates.
