Swiss franc to Indian rupee
The currency investors run to when markets panic. Convert Swiss francs to rupees for a trip to the Alps or a business payment.
A safe-haven currency
Switzerland’s political stability, low inflation and large current account surplus make the franc a refuge in times of stress, so it often strengthens when global markets fall. The Swiss National Bank sometimes sells francs to stop it rising too far, because a very strong franc hurts Swiss exporters. Over the long run the franc has gained against most currencies, including the rupee.
