Loans in Swiss francs can switch to euros by September 30

The article discusses a deadline set for September 30 for debtors who have taken out loans in Swiss francs to switch their loan denominations to euros at favorable rates. These loans were popular in the late 2000s due to the perceived safety of the Swiss franc, but its appreciation against the euro has caused financial strain for borrowers. The Greek government initially refused calls to forgive such debts. As of now, over 20,000 loans in Swiss francs are being regularly repaid, with a total value of €5.5 billion.
