As we explain here, Target2 (im-)balances and SNB currency reserves represent the same concept, namely capital flight/movements (in a positive and negative sense) and current account imbalances. While Target2 numbers for Germany and Northern Europe go down, SNB reserves remain the same, only 3 billion CHF away from record highs and poised for another big inflow in May (see why). They fell only slightly to 427.05 bln. CHF, at the end of January from 427.20 bil. CHF
