The Swiss National Bank may need to tighten its monetary policy further depending on how inflation develops in the country, according to Vice-Chairman Martin Schlegel. Despite inflation easing to 1.6% in August, Schlegel stated that further tightening may be necessary. Economists, however, believe that the SNB has already completed interest rate hikes.
