With the European Central Bank lowering interest rates, investors are exploring foreign currency options like the US Dollar, Swiss Franc, and Japanese Yen for potentially higher returns. However, such investments come with significant risks, including currency fluctuations and higher fees from banks. Experts recommend foreign currency accounts primarily for those with regular foreign transactions. While some emerging markets may offer attractive interest rates, the risks of currency depreciation must be carefully considered. Additionally, tax implications on foreign investments are increasingly stringent.
