Ivan Lengwyler

Ivan Lengwyler is a prominent Swiss economist and professor at the University of Basel. Known for his expertise in monetary policy and financial stability, Lengwyler has been an influential voice in discussions surrounding the Swiss National Bank's (SNB) strategies and operations. Recently, he was in the news as a member of the SNB Observatory, where he and other economists criticized the National Bank's decision to distribute only 3 billion francs to the federal and cantonal governments despite a record profit of 80 billion francs, arguing for a reassessment of the SNB's capital management and profit distribution policies.
