SNB chairman Thomas Jordan remains conservative amidst growing global economic optimism(Keystone) Sometimes its agonies grab world attention. Almost three years ago, in January 2015, the Swiss National Bank rattled global markets when it unexpectedly abandoned its official cap on the franc’s value against the euro — sending the currency sharply higher.So what does the world need to know about the affluent Alpine state right now? The SNB’s latest policy meeting last week in Be was low profile. The main policy interest rate stayed at the historic low of minus 0.75 per cent set after the 2015 “Frankenschock”. It still regarded the franc as “highly valued”, and would intervene if necessary in foreign currency markets to prevent its appreciation, further expanding its SFr813bn balance sheet.But its post-meeting caution was striking. Outsiders might have expected some cheer. The franc has fallen 5 per cent on a trade-weighted basis since midyear. The Swiss economic recovery is gaining momentum, and prices have moved out of the dangerous deflation zone. Like the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank, the SNB could reasonabl SWI swissinfo...ما را در سایت SWI swissinfo دنبال می کنید

Embed code The production of artificial snow uses a lot of natural resources and energy. Some ski resorts have been using a different technique to try and make artificial snow production more efficient in terms of both natural resources, and money.Gstaad, for example, is now using a snow depth measuring system. Every time a snow groomer (the truck that prepares the pistes) drives over the snowy surface, the depth of snow is measured, and the data sent back to a database.Drivers can see the information on the spread of snow on screens inside their cabins, and can react, based on how deep the snow should be. They then focus artificial snow production on specific areas. The management of snow levels has meant the resort has not had to produce as much snow as it used to.

Candy girls: an advert for Suchard chocolate from 1893(Apic/Getty Images) François-Louis Cailler(Nestlé) The $100 billion (CHF100 billion) global chocolate industry has certainly come a long way since the days, some 3,000 years ago, when inhabitants of central and southe America would gather around the fire with a bitter, grainy drink called “xocolātl”.While it’s true that Europeans have been drinking chocolate since the 17th century, chocolate as we know it today is largely thanks to a handful of 19th-century Swiss confectioners and entrepreneurs, many of whom remain household names around the world. Let’s meet some of the main figures in this Chocolate Revolution and their claims to fame. 1819: Queen Victoria is bo, James Monroe is in the White House … and the world’s first mechanised chocolate factory is opened.

Cryptocurrencies were partly created as a challenge to fiat money issued by banks and central banks.(Keystone) Cryptocurrencies traded peer to peer rather than being settled through banks have so many uses that it is impossible to know how much demand is driven by criminality. One thing is clear: banks face growing rivalry from a shadow payment system that ranges from cryptocurrencies to electronic platforms including Alipay and mobile wallets such as M-Pesa in Kenya.
The old way to transfer money without having to go through a bank is cash, which is obstinately persistent. Despite the expansion of credit, debit and contactless cards, nearly everyone uses cash regularly. The drug smuggler who launders money across borders in high-value banknotes is an outlier; most cash loyalists find comfort in its familiarity and reliability.While cash transactions used to be the mainstay of banks’ services to individuals and small businesses, this is fading as they concentrate on electronic payments, encouraged by regulators.
