Market Chatter: Swiss Central Bank Vice-Chairman Supports Tougher Rules on Banks, Including UBS

MT Newswires Live12-11

UBS (UBS) continues to face support for stricter proposed banking regulations by the Swiss National Bank, Reuters reported Thursday, citing the vice-chairman of the Swiss central bank.

"We believe that these measures are appropriate and targeted," Antoine Martin reportedly told Reuters regarding new proposed capital and risk management requirements for large Swiss banks like UBS. "We also believe that these measures are neither extreme nor excessive."

UBS opposes the measures proposed in response to the 2023 taxpayer-backed takeover of the collapsed Credit Suisse by UBS.

UBS did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.
