Overview
Switzerland's exchange rate stood at 0.88 in 2025, a decline of +0.00 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.88 by 2025. Switzerland ranked 194th globally.
Switzerland’s exchange‑rate index has fallen dramatically over the 66‑year series, moving from an all‑time peak of 4.37 in 1970 to a trough of 0.88 in 2025, the lowest level among 194 economies recorded by the World Bank. The 2025 figure of 0.88 places Switzerland alongside Liechtenstein, which registers the same value, and ahead of the Cayman Islands at 0.83, indicating a relative strengthening of the franc against the benchmark currency basket. The steep decline reflects persistent appreciation pressures, tight monetary policy and Switzerland’s safe‑haven status, which have consistently attracted capital inflows and reduced the need for devaluation. While the long‑term trajectory points to a stronger franc, future shifts in global interest‑rate differentials, trade‑balance adjustments or coordinated policy interventions could moderate the appreciation and alter the downward path of the exchange‑rate index.
