SNB President visits Liechtenstein
Liechtenstein and Switzerland are closely linked through the customs and monetary union. To discuss current developments and issues, high-ranking representatives of the Swiss National Bank (SNB) and Liechtenstein meet once a year to exchange views on economic and monetary policy as well as financial stability. For this reason, a three-person SNB delegation consisting of the Chairman of the SNB Governing Board Martin Schlegel, Deputy Governing Board member Rosmarie Schlup and Martin Plenio, Director and Head of Legal Affairs, visited Vaduz on Friday, October 31, 2025. Liechtenstein's Head of Government Brigitte Haas, the Secretary General of the Ministry of Presidential Affairs and Finance Eve Beck and Martin Gächter, Head of Financial Stability at the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority, attended the meeting.
The talks focused on the economic situation in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, which continues to be characterized by a challenging environment, and the SNB's monetary policy. The delegations also discussed various current topics relating to financial stability and crisis prevention.
Following the meeting, Prime Minister Brigitte Haas emphasized how important such an institutionalized dialogue with the Swiss National Bank is for the country: "The SNB's prudent and far-sighted monetary policy is a decisive factor for Liechtenstein's strength and resilience as a financial centre and business location. Against this backdrop, a trusting and respectful relationship, such as the one we maintain with each other in our regular meetings, is of great importance for both sides."
Next year's exchange will take place in Zurich.
