A Swiss parliamentary committee is to hold a hearing with central bank chief Philipp Hildebrand behind closed doors in a bid to get answers about private currency deals he engaged in while leading efforts to soften the Swiss franc.


Mr Hildebrand, 48, broke weeks of silence on Thursday to deny breaching central bank rules amid continuing public unease over the dollar swaps that netted his family tens of thousands last year.
