About Swiss Franc (Fr)

The Swiss Franc (CHF, ISO 4217 code 756, symbol Fr or SFr) is the official currency of Switzerland and Liechtenstein, issued by the Swiss National Bank (SNB, est. 1907). Subdivided into 100 centimes (in French) / Rappen (in German) / centesimi (in Italian) / raps (in Romansh). Banknotes: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 1000 CHF; coins: 5, 10, 20, 50 centimes, 1, 2, 5 CHF. CHF is regarded as a global 'safe-haven' currency due to Switzerland's political neutrality, strong Triple-A credit rating, low debt-to-GDP ratio (~17%, among the lowest in OECD), and gold-backed reserves (~22% of SNB foreign reserves were in gold as of 2024). Historically CHF was pegged to gold until 1999 and maintained a unilateral cap of 1.20 CHF/EUR from September 2011 to January 15, 2015 ('Swiss Franc Shock' when SNB unexpectedly abandoned the peg, causing a 30% intraday spike). SNB targets price stability (CPI inflation between 0 and 2% per Federal Act on the SNB).

About Saudi Riyal ()

The Saudi Riyal (SAR, ISO 4217 code 682, symbol ﷼ or SR) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, issued by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA — Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority renamed to Saudi Central Bank in 2020, est. 1952). Subdivided into 100 halalas. Banknotes: SR1, SR5, SR10, SR50, SR100, SR200 (the SR200 introduced 2021 marking 5 years of Vision 2030), SR500 (the highest denomination; current 'Saudi 7th Edition' series features King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud portrait on all denominations and historic Saudi landmarks); coins: 1 halala, 5 halalas, 10 halalas, 25 halalas, 50 halalas, SR1, SR2. SAR has been pegged to USD at SR3.75 per USD since June 1986 (the longest-standing currency peg in the Gulf, predating the GCC monetary union proposal). Saudi Arabia is the world's 2nd-largest oil producer (~10 million bpd, after the US's ~13 million), the de facto leader of OPEC+, and holds the world's 2nd-largest proven oil reserves (~267 billion barrels per BP Statistical Review). Saudi Arabia hosts Aramco — the world's most profitable company by net income.
