Consumer Price Index YoY
Switzerland · next release date not yet on the live calendar
No verified figures for this release right now — the consensus forecast and previous reading appear here whenever this event is on the current week's live calendar. We do not show placeholder numbers.
What it is
Switzerland's Federal Statistical Office publishes the Consumer Price Index every month. The year-on-year figure compares the price level in the reference month with the same month a year earlier. The Swiss National Bank defines price stability as CPI inflation of less than 2% a year and counts deflation as a breach of price stability too, so each reading is judged against both of those limits.
Why it matters to traders
A reading that differs from forecast can shift expectations for the SNB policy rate. A hotter print can strengthen the case for tighter policy and tends to support the franc. A softer print, especially one near or below zero, can strengthen the case for easing or for currency-market intervention and tends to weigh on the franc. A stronger franc lowers import prices, so the exchange rate and the CPI feed back on each other in SNB decisions.
