SNB's Jordan says doesn't have authority to impose fee on paper currency
BERNE, April 24 (Reuters) - Switzerland's central bank has no plans to do away with cash and doesn't have the authority to impose a fee on paper currency, chairman Thomas Jordan told shareholders on Friday.
"We have no plans to do away with cash, and we don't have the authority to impose a fee on paper currency," Jordan said, in response to a question from a shareholder about fees on holding franc notes.
Earlier on Friday, Jordan said uncertainty over the Greek debt crisis could push up the franc, traditionally a haven currency.
