Why Is CHF a strong currency?

The Swiss Franc is a stronger currency compared to most countries in the world. Its long-standing current account surplus, coupled with low inflation, are the main reasons why CHF is considered a strong currency. Moreover, Switzerland's low corporate tax rate and open economic environment have led to companies opening their headquarters in the country. This ultimately led to higher economic activity in the country boosting its exports.

How to convert INR to CHF?

To convert INR to CHF, you must divide the amount in rupees by the exchange rate. Let’s say, for example, you want to convert Rs 2 lakhs into Swiss Franc, and the current exchange rate is 1 CHF = Rs 89.48. Then you have to divide Rs 2 lakhs with the exchange rate to get its equivalent value in CHF.

CHF = 2,00,000/89.48

CHF = 2,235.13

Although converting one currency into another is easy, with exchange rate fluctuations, it can be a difficult task. Hence it is better to use a currency converter like the Jupiter currency converter, which will do the same task within seconds.

Which currency is stronger, CHF or USD?

One USD will buy you 0.92 CHF making the Swiss Franc a higher-value currency against the Dollar. The Swiss Franc is the world's seventh most traded currency and is considered a safe haven in times of economic instability. It also has a current account surplus, low inflation, and low debt levels, making it one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Despite being a strong currency than USD, it is a much smaller economy when compared to the USA.

Is CHF the most stable currency?

The Swiss Franc is considered a safe haven and is used to diversify the risk of holding just Dollars. This is mainly because Switzerland has a long history of current account surpluses and low inflation. Moreover, it holds the status of an external creditor nation and has relatively stable political and financial markets. All this makes CHF a stable currency.
