A majority of Swiss support moves by the country’s central bank to curb the rise of the franc, SonntagsZeitung reported, citing a poll by market research company Isopublic AG.
Of 1,004 people questioned Aug. 18-20, 63 percent favored action by the Swiss National Bank to halt the currency’s rise even if it leads to a rise in inflation, the newspaper said. More than one out of four, or 27 percent, said the central bank should set an exchange-rate target. The newspaper didn’t provide any margin of error for the survey.
