Switzerland eases UBS capital rules

Swiss legislators announced a reduction in the capital requirements for UBS bank. The bank is now required to support its foreign branches with 50% of Tier 1 core capital, instead of the 100% previously demanded by the government. This move aims to strike a better balance between safeguarding financial stability and easing the competitive burden on the bank. The change follows discussions held in Parliament, with a final decision expected before the end of the year. However, the resolution may be delayed until 2027 as part of banking rule reforms following the Credit Suisse crisis, designed to enhance financial stability without impairing the bank's competitiveness.
