Switzerland - Nov 28

On November 30, Switzerland will hold a referendum called “Save Our Swiss Gold.” Voters will decide on three issues: 1) a ban on the Central Bank selling its gold, 2) the repatriation of all Swiss gold reserves not currently held by the Swiss National Bank, and 3) an obligation for the bank to hold 20% of its assets in gold (currently 8%). While it is not simply a return to an international gold standard, the referendum marks a bid to tie the Swiss franc to something other than euro-area bonds and G5 currencies.
