The Swiss National Bank (SNB) is projected to report a profit of CHF 5 to 10 billion for Q3 2024, driven by strong bond and equity markets and rising gold prices, despite losses from currency movements. With a total profit expected to reach around CHF 70 billion by the end of October, distributions to the Confederation and cantons appear likely. However, long-term distributions may be constrained by current provisioning rules and market volatility.
