Federal Treasury
The Federal Treasury is the Federal Department of Finance assumed Swiss Treasury . It ensures that the federal administration and some federal companies are ready to pay and, in some cases, also accepts their investment funds.
The primary task of the federal treasury is to balance out the fluctuations in liquidity of the connected units within one month and one year. To absorb these fluctuations, treasury reserves have been built up. Liquidity control takes place both by means of short-term borrowing on the money market and, in the longer term, for example by issuing bonds . For medium-term money requirements, for example up to a year at most, the money market book claim was created in 1979, which allows the national bank and commercial banks, but also non-banks, as lenders.
