Not just, but it is.

E.g. Switzerland has actively tried for years to peg 1.20 CHF to 1 EUR, to ensure that exports would not be hurt by a strong CHF. ... Until it suddenly didn't anymore.

Very, very likely it's still secretly pegged. CHF:EUR is extremely stable although not much that was driving its appreciation fundamentally changed .
