SWISS NATIONAL BANK PRESIDENT PHILIPP HILDEBRAND


SUGGESTION TO THE SWISS NATIONAL BANK PRESIDENT PHILIPP HILDEBRAND

To:                        The Right Honorable Swiss National Bank President Philipp Hildebrand

From:                     Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja

RE:                        Swiss Franc Valuation

Suggestion:             Increase money supply, lend to other European countries.      

Good Morning President. When I wrote to you regarding rise in Swiss Franc in the month of July 25, 2011 large margin of currency appreciation in a short period of time is not good for sustainable economy. SNB have taken the appropriate measures on its Swiss Franc to counter valuation of being appreciated because the current valuation of the Swiss Franc poses an acute threat to the tourist and manufacturing industry and carries the risk of deflationary development. Massive international capital inflows will raise the value of the currency, reducing the competitiveness of the nation’s export and on the other hand drive down the interest rates and reducing fixed income. You have taken the appropriate measures to put a cap on the exchange rate. It is absolutely necessary when the exchange rate is far higher than the healthy economy put a cap on the exchange rate unlike downward pressure, you are not likely to run out of currency to sell to support the exchange rate. Of course, you will get a large quantity of foreign exchange in return. I would like to recommend accumulate foreign exchange fund but not US bonds.

If Swiss Franc is too high, we can’t sell our products. It will dramatically affect the Swiss industry unlike commodities is that it takes a huge amount of knowledge and capital investment to produce goods in the field of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, engineering, electronics and transportation sectors. These industries all make up a far more important part of the Swiss economy. Once Swiss industries lost, it is not easy to regain. However the core issue is SNB currency interventions have only resulted in temporary success. It may fail due to global demand. I would recommend the SNB should intervene more directly to create sustainable economy.

Thank you very much for kind attention to these issues.

Sincerely,
Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja.

BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE 2019

To:     The Right Honourable European Commission President Hon. Jean-Claude Juncker   From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 19, 2019 RE:      BRITAIN’S BREXIT BATTLE   Suggestion: Hon. European Commission President, let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has insisted repeatedly that backstop must go, if not then no deal BREXIT but he support the GFA and custom-free border between the UK (Northern Ireland) and the EU (Republic of Ireland). That is a blatant contradiction. How can he have it both ways? If the UK wanted to exit from the EU bloc without a deal - the return of a hard border is absolutely necessary. Why BREXITERS are object to the backstop? The reason behind that it would give the EU way to keep a toehold in future UK trade policy. If the UK wanted to leave the EU without backstop, in other words, a hard BREXIT or there is been no exit agreement by both the UK and the EU – then the r

HONG KONG EXTRADITION BILL 2019

To:     The Right Honourable Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China Ms. Carrie Lam From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: August 29, 2019 RE:      HONG KONG EXTRADITION BILL 2019 Suggestion: Hon. Chief Executive of the Hong Kong let me start by paying my respects to you and through you to. “One Country Two Systems” structure compels Hong Kong to operate currently under different legal system than that of Mainland China. You published the extradition bill on March 29, 2019 and first reading on April 3, 2019 which will destroy Hong Kong legal independence because extradition bill is another attempt for China to take away the Hong Kong independent legal system that China has agreed for Hong Kong to keep until 2047. Thus, the people of Hong Kong marched their protest against the bill on June 9, 2019. Hong Kong protests are still continuing. The silence of your government leads me to believe you have no plan t

EU NEW FISCAL AUTHORITY FOR WEAK MEMBER STATES

This paper focuses on setting up new fiscal authority to manage compatible fiscal decentralisation and budgetary discipline in the EU Member States. The authority need to adopt a tough fiscal consolidation programme. The authority should be responsible for designing fiscal policy for all Member States with stricter rules, conscientious monitoring and enforcement mechanisms for the conduct of fiscal decentralisation and budgetary policy. If Member States does not implement or violate the fiscal authority law that Member State/States to be sued in the European Court of Justice. We cannot grow our economy without proper fiscal cooperation between Member States. So the fiscal authority must coach at least weak Member States how to implement effective fiscal policy so that crony driven economy can be turned into a competitive market based economy. EU established the provisions of the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) to avoid excessive deficits of the Member States and take precise act
