| | Vol.3: Clearing (summary) |
| | Owing to opposition from the victorious Allied powers, Switzerland only obtained partial repayment of these state debts in 1949 in negotiations with Italy, and in 1952 with the Federal Republic of Germany. | | | For the Axis powers, the granting of loans was thus the most important aspect of the economic negotiations with Switzerland (chapter 3). | | | The Swiss government also issued embargoes on payments and asset movements, especially against foreigners resident in Switzerland and – during the war – against persons resident in German-occupied countries. |
