Description:

GBP/CHF reflects the value of the British pound sterling (GBP) against the Swiss franc (CHF) or, in other words, the amount of CHF needed to buy one pound. Both the GBP and CHF currencies have a significant purchasing power and trading volume. Together, they represent the adjustments to the changing economic strengths of the UK and Switzerland – two of the wealthiest and most influential countries on earth. Among the factors that can affect the GBP/CHF are the differences between the monetary policies and measures of the Bank of England (BOE) and Swiss National Bank (SNB), as well as the far-reaching and long-lasting trading relationship between the two countries (both of which play leading roles in the global currency market).
