Referential CHF based on CPI

Referential CHF

The following table provides the inflator/deflator multiplier for calculating referential Swiss francs (rCHF, rSFr, rFr). It is based on the average annual CPI (Consumer Price Index) for Switzerland and Liechtenstein (Rate Inflation, 2012¹). The formula is the following:

rCHF = nominal CHF + (nominal CHF * multiplier)
