Related Data

What is INR (Indian Rupee)?

A managed float, not pegged to any other currency - the RBI lets the market set its value but occasionally buys or sells dollars to smooth out sharp swings.

Key Facts

  • ISO code: INR
  • Symbol: โ‚น
  • Subunit: 100 paise = 1 rupee
  • Issued by: Reserve Bank of India (RBI)

What is CHF (Swiss Franc)?

A traditional safe-haven currency - investors have long moved money into the franc during global uncertainty, partly because of Switzerland's political neutrality and low, stable inflation history.

Key Facts

  • ISO code: CHF
  • Symbol: Fr
  • Subunit: 100 rappen/centimes = 1 franc
  • Issued by: Swiss National Bank (SNB)

Why Does the INR/CHF Exchange Rate Change?

The INR/CHF rate moves every trading day, driven mainly by:

  • Swiss National Bank interest rate decisions, historically among the lowest (and at times negative) of any major central bank.
  • Global risk sentiment - the franc has long been considered a safe-haven currency, strengthening during periods of global uncertainty as investors seek stability.
  • Switzerland's large current account surplus and its status as a global banking and wealth-management hub.
  • Eurozone economic conditions, since Switzerland sits geographically and economically close to the EU despite not being a member.
  • India-Switzerland trade and investment, including Swiss pharmaceutical and precision-manufacturing exports to India.
  • RBI intervention and rupee-side factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Swiss Franc considered a "safe-haven" currency?

Switzerland's long history of political neutrality, low and stable inflation, and strong banking system have made investors turn to the franc during global crises for decades, similar to how the yen and gold are treated - demand for it often rises specifically when broader markets are nervous.

Is the Swiss Franc pegged to the Euro?

No, not currently - it floats freely, managed by the Swiss National Bank. Switzerland did briefly cap the franc's strength against the euro from 2011 to 2015 to protect exporters, but that cap was removed and hasn't been reinstated.

Is this the bank rate or forex rate?

It's the mid-market rate, the midpoint between the buy and sell price on the global currency market, with no margin added. Banks, forex counters and card networks add their own markup on top, so the rate you're actually charged when exchanging cash or paying by card abroad will differ, usually by 1 to 4 percent in their favor.

How often is the rate updated?

Once a day, refreshed at 7:00 AM IST from the Frankfurter API.

Where do these rates come from?

Frankfurter (frankfurter.dev), a free exchange-rate API that blends official reference rates from multiple central banks rather than relying on a single source.

Can I use this rate for an actual currency conversion?

Use it as a reference for roughly what you should be getting, not as the exact rate you'll receive. An actual transaction, a bank transfer, cash exchange, or a card payment abroad, goes through your bank or exchange provider's own rate, which includes their margin and any transaction fees.
