End of capping[edit] It has been suggested that this section be split into a new article titled Francogeddon. (Discuss) Proposed since January 2015. On 18 December 2014, the Swiss central bank introduced a negative interest rate on bank deposits to support its CHF ceiling.[26] However, with the euro declining in value over the following weeks, in a move dubbed Francogeddon[27][28][29][30] for its effect on markets, the Swiss National Bank abandoned the ceiling on 15 January 2015, and the franc promptly increased in value compared with the euro by 30%, although this only lasted for a few minutes before part of the increase was reversed.[31] The move was not announced in advance and resulted in "turmoil" in stock and currency markets.[32]The key interest rate was also lowered from minus 0.25% to minus 0.75%, meaning investors would be paying an increased fee to keep their funds in a Swiss account. This devaluation of the euro against the franc is expected to hurt Switzerland's large export industry. The Swatch Group, for example, saw its shares drop 15% (in Swiss franc terms) with the announcements[31] so that the share price was approximately unchanged on that day in euro terms. Alpari, a Russian-owned spread betting firm established in the UK, temporarily declared insolvency before changing its message to reflect its aim to find a potential buyer (and later denied acquisition rumours by FXCM)[33] as a result of the rapid change in value of the Swiss franc.[34] FXCM itself was bailed out by its parent company after suffering due to decreased liquidity.[35]
