据佐伊·施内韦斯报道，瑞士消费者价格增长的预期低迷使该国央行处于‘有利’地位。
By Zoe Schneeweiss Muted expectations for Swiss consumer-price growth leave the country’s central bank in a “comfortable” position, according to President Martin Schlegel.
瑞士国家银行行长马丁·施莱格尔表示：‘从我们的通胀预测来看，我们基本处于目标区间中间。’
“If you look at our inflation forecasts, we’re pretty much right in the middle of the range,” he said, referring to the Swiss National Bank’s 0-2% target.
在瑞士公共广播公司SRF的电台采访中，施莱格尔强调，瑞士国家银行对价格稳定的担忧并不比平时更高。
Speaking in a radio interview with the Swiss public broadcaster SRF, Schlegel emphasized that the SNB’s concerns about price stability aren’t any higher than usual.
‘这是我们的责任，所以我们当然总是会感到担忧，但从这个角度来看，我们处于有利的位置。’
“It’s our responsibility, so of course we’re always worried, but in that sense, we’re in a comfortable situation,” he said.
施莱格尔在瑞士国家银行周四将关键利率维持在零水平后发表了上述言论——这一利率自2025年6月以来一直未变。
Schlegel spoke after the SNB on Thursday left its key rate at zero — the level it’s been since June 2025. Swiss inflation was 0.8% in August and economists expect data due on Oct. 1 to reveal a slight acceleration in September, to 1%.
8月份瑞士的通胀率为0.8%，经济学家预计10月1日公布的数据将显示9月份通胀率略有上升至1%。瑞士的低利率和温和的通胀率与其他主要经济体形成对比。
Switzerland’s low interest rates and benign inflation stand in contrast with most other major economies. The SNB’s peers at the US Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank have switched to tightening to contain the domestic impact of surging energy prices.
瑞士国家银行的同行——美国联邦储备系统和欧洲中央银行——已经转向收紧货币政策以控制能源价格飙升带来的国内影响。
“At the moment it certainly is the case that internationally, central banks are raising rates,” Schlegel said.
施莱格尔还谈到了瑞士最大银行UBS集团可能因严格的资本规定而离开瑞士的威胁，他对这一前景持乐观态度。‘最终，总部的选择是UBS的决定，’他说。
The SNB chief was also asked about the threat of Switzerland’s biggest bank, UBS Group AG, leaving the country in response to stringent capital rules. Schlegel was sanguine on that prospect.
‘当然，这是一家大银行，它为瑞士带来了好处，但瑞士也为UBS带来了好处。’
“Ultimately, the choice of headquarters is a decision for UBS,” he said. “Of course, it’s a large bank and brings benefits to Switzerland. But Switzerland, of course, also brings benefits to UBS.”
