Who’s against it?
Well, the bankers, obviously. As well as the Swiss government. Among the arguments against the change are that it would damage Switzerland’s international competitiveness and that it would undermine an economy that is currently pretty healthy.

Switzerland is going to do nothing to big banks and big banking.
Other than making lots of money on it, of course.

Switzerland in considering changing their financial system to get rid of fractional reserve banking. I'm not sure if I support this or not, but I know a lot of people here are against the fractional reserve system. It seems this would mean the banks would do less lending, which probably wouldn't be good IMO.

Switzerland getting rid of banks???? I nearly died laughing. BECAUSE of it's banks Switzerland sat back through two world wars untouched by the ravages of said wars and filled their pockets from the warring nations. They'll as much alter their banking system as them getting a submarine fleet.
