UBS issues new paper to counter misconceptions in Swiss bank regulation debate

• UBS issued an additional position paper to correct what it called misinterpretations in Switzerland’s bank-regulation debate.
• The paper backs targeted, proportionate, internationally aligned changes aimed at addressing the causes of the Credit Suisse crisis.
• UBS endorsed proposals to strengthen Additional Tier 1 (AT1) instruments, calling them an effective early-intervention tool to create CET1 in a crisis.
• It supported the WAK-S majority “50/50” model, arguing it protects taxpayers as well as the federal government plan while triggering action earlier.
• UBS warned that a 90% CET1 backing requirement would hurt competitiveness, adding that extreme regulation would weigh on Switzerland’s economy.
