The Swiss National Bank (SNB) has reported a projected profit of approximately 80 billion Swiss francs for the year 2024, marking a significant turnaround after two consecutive years of losses. The bank attributes this record profit to increases in stock prices, the value of the U.S. dollar, and rising gold prices. As a result, the SNB plans to distribute 3 billion francs to the federal government and cantons. This announcement indicates a positive shift for stakeholders following a period of financial austerity.
