• Putting a shine on your portfolio: the turbulent stock and currency markets have confirmed it's never too late to invest in gold. Most see this precious metal as a favourable component of any long-term investment portfolio, as well as a relatively safe haven--partly because it doesn't rely on an issuer's promise to pay. But gold isn't the only metal in demand among investors.

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Evidence of mankind's mastery of gold dates back as far as 4,000 BC in Central Europe. Archaeologists presume that the gold w...

• Asset Price Bubbles and Monetary Policy: What Can Be Learned From the Swiss Experience?

This short policy paper looks at the implications of asset price bubbles for the Swiss economy over the two last decades, and attempts at inferring policy recommendations. We argue that such bubbles are generally damaging for the overall economy. Further, concentrating our attention on bubbles that are identified, we ask what kind of policy central banks should adopt in two given situations. We argue that in the case of housing price bubbles, emergency measures specifically directed at the housing market might be superior to conventional monetary policy; and that when faced with an emerging stock market bubble, an autonomous central bank of a small open economy should focus on the aftermath of the bust, taking advantage of its ability to conduct a policy tailored to the domestic needs.
