Developed economies must cut debt-SNB's Hildebrand
Developed economies must cut public debt to meet the challenges of ageing populations, Swiss National Bank Vice-Chairman Philipp Hildebrand said on Wednesday. In the text of his speech about the Swiss-born 19th century U.S.
Secretary to the Treasury, Albert Gallatin, Hildebrand made no mention of current monetary policy or the outlook for the economy and inflation. "Given .... longer-term fiscal strains, we should be building up a fiscal cushion rather than becoming more indebted," Hildebrand said at an event of the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce in Geneva.
