Swiss bond market - undamaged through the financial crisis

According to the Swiss National Bank (SNB), the Swiss franc bond market has lived up to its reputation for stability.The Swiss bond market held up well during the financial crisis. This is the conclusion drawn by the Swiss National Bank in a guest article[PDF] for SIX Swiss Exchange that also deals with the role the domestic bond market plays with regard to crisis-combating measures. According to SNB there are three main features that characterize the Swiss bond market: a growth rate among the lowest worldwide, a much bigger market for non-public borrowers than for public ones and the fact that foreign issuers account for a greater share of the market than their domestic counterparts.
