The Banking Industry in Switzerland offers flexible loans at low interests as the public debt stands are 34.1% of the GDP as of 2016 (Cai, Kalandarishvili, Miagkyi, Lopez, & Zhang, 2017). Fiscal policies are relatively low and favors free trade providing an extremely favorable conditions for entry into the market. While the Swiss National banks offers attractive asset financing for global businesses the SNB is likely to cut off capital inflows to reduce inflation which currently stands at 0.57% which is one of the lowest rates in the world. With the recent transition, Switzerland is a conducive environment to set up local stores to help the company manage their risks by doing business in the local currencies. Target can buy Swiss products for few Swiss Francs and sell them into the Europe or US market in dollar to add a small profits margin . The company should source their products from suppliers who offer fixed currency rate exchange to cushion them against the forex risks in the country

As of April 2020, the Switzerland Exchange rate stood at 0.970(CHF/USD) (Thorbecke & Kato,2018). Since 1957 the Swiss Franc has remained unshaken due to the large capital inflows, flexible fiscal policies and free trade. These policies have caused major changes in the Swiss Franc therefore fluctuating the exchange rates from time to time. The Switzerland exchange rate does not affect trading relations with other countries. The exchange rate has minimal impact on the economy’s production structure as well as the export and service industry.

Switzerland is a economically stable country with fluctuating exchange rates due to the large change in the Swiss Franc. However, fluctuations in the exchange rates do not affect the export, stock returns and profits of highly manufacturing companies. As evident during the 2007 financial crisis the exchange rate of the Swiss franc appreciated by 30% did not deter the SNB bank from creating a safe haven capital inflows for investors (Thorbecke & Kato,2018). The rise in the exchange do not have major effects on the advanced sectors of production such as pharmaceuticals and watches but have a moderately significant impact medium-high technology products. Following the economic crisis of 2007, did not alter the volume of goods exported from Switzerland declined by a 9 and 13 % with an exception of the service sector. Ideally the exchange rate appreciation or depreciation do not affect the stock and goods prices for watches and pharmaceuticals but topples over machinery and capital goods prices.
