Swiss Groups Pressure Parliament Over UBS Capital Rules
UBS
— Sep 21, 2026
With Parliament set to vote on tightened capital rules after the Credit Suisse collapse, UBS warns that 100% CET1 backing would erode competitiveness and cost billions, while backing a compromise—potentially 50% CET1 with AT1 or similar arrangements—to cushion the impact. Industry groups press lawmakers to avoid overly harsh rules, arguing higher capital costs would raise financing costs for Swiss companies and hurt the financial center, as UBS and lawmakers weigh a viable middle ground that could require roughly $13–20 billion in additional capital.
