Many currency crisis models focus on countries whose currency is coming under devaluation pressure. Only a few models focus on countries with appreciation problems. However, the Swiss franc currently has the characteristics of a strong currency. However, a significant appreciation puts pressure on the Swiss export industry. Another problem is that Switzerland is practically completely surrounded by the euro currency area. In various publications, we explore the question of why the Swiss central bank initially established a lower floor for the Swiss franc against the euro, but later abandoned this attempt.
