It's no longer a naughty country.

A bit late, afaIk the National Bank stopped supporting the Euro quiet a while ago. And I don't think NB was ever really fazed by that list.

I'm surprised to see singled out EU countries:
<<Also on the list with China are Japan, South Korea, Germany, Ireland, Italy, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Mexico. Only Ireland and Mexico were added to the list Friday.>>
The euro is the euro is the euro, no? Why would single countries even try to influence the euro? (Ready to learn).

Italy doesn't do it on purpose, they have a natural desire for what ever currency they use being worthless.

SNB had been controlling the CHF to stop it becoming too strong for quite some time. Now with the pandemic it seems it doesn't need to interfere.

The irony is that the US prints money and issues government debt like there's no tomorrow (which of course in such a strongly two-party state there may not be from one side's viewpoint).

The only reason the US isn't a currency manipulator is because the dollar is the de-facto baseline.

The only thing is, SNB stopped it January 2015, looooong before Covid.

The worst money launderers are in Delaware, Nevada and Wyoming. But as Federal law doesn't apply they get ignored.

On top of that are the US by now one of the top destinations for tax evasion, offshore accounts and money laundering. They keep on pretending that it’s a problem from Caribbean third world countries... not snowy Delaware. If there is one country that should get on the naughty list for white collar crime it’s them.

Oh no they didn't.

Wasn't that the plan all along? To get rid of the competition?

OMG they had the nerve to add Germany on that list!

I'm sure it is a mistake....

It can't be, it's naturally impossible I tell ya....I feel so privileged to have some savings in euro, we can all sleep tight!

Delaware is not laundering. It is only a tax shelter!
Please keep in mind that it is also Biden's home.

the SNB stopped officially supporting a min exchange rate, but they are still taking action in this regard, just without a public objective.
That's what the accusation is about. Anyway i remember reading about some report recently that praised the snb policies and it was a report that is considered serious, that might be the private analysts cited in the article.

Delaware is used for shell companies... and the most obvious reason to have a made up shell company is the launder money. Trump ironically signed a law to not allow new anonymous shell companies anymore while half his staffed used them... but the existing ones have years to fix it...
