Parliamentary matter 26.7623: Is Sweden’s cash law a model for Switzerland?

· Bundesklar Redaktion

Since 1 July 26, a new law has been in force in Sweden. Grocery stores and pharmacies are once again required to accept cash. The reasons are the current geopolitical situation, inclusion and possible cyberattacks. The authorities also recommend that Swedes keep cash at home again. - What does the Federal Council think of such a law? - Would it also make sense in Switzerland? - Is it prepared to examine such a law?
