Banking: Swiss banks would welcome Iran's financial holdings

A senior Iranian official has conformed that Iran has started to move financial holdings to safeguard them from sanctions by the international community.

A leading financial analyst, Steve Bernard, director of the Geneva Financial Center, said that Swiss banks would welcome such assets, adding that Switzerland is a country that is non-judgemental.

In terms of being a safe haven, Switzerland is considered a better option than Singapore or other countries.
