Switzerland to Vote on Banning Banks from Creating Money






Switzerland to Vote on Banning Banks from Creating Money


December 29th, 2015

Via: Independent:

Switzerland will hold a referendum to decide whether its private banks can create money after 110,000 people said they want their central bank to be solely in charge.

Seven years after the financial crisis struck, the Swiss federal government confirmed on Christmas Eve that it would ask its people whether the central bank – the SNB – should be the sole institution to be able to create money in its financial system. No date has been set for the referendum yet.

The Swiss Sovereign Money campaign is leading the initiative and aims to curtail financial speculation, demanding that commercial banks hold 100 per cent reserves against their deposits. This issue will have to go to a referendum under Swiss law now that the petition has gained more than 100,000 signatures within 18 months of launching.

“Banks won’t be able to create money for themselves any more, they’ll only be able to lend money that they have from savers or other banks,� said the campaign group, as reported by The Telegraph.
