UBS joint ventures have invested approximately CHF 1 billion in two Chinese companies under US sanctions, including Aviation Industry Corporation of China Xi"an and Hikvision. The bank holds 49% and 20% stakes in these firms, which are linked to the Chinese government and have been on the sanctions list since 2021. UBS asserts that these transactions comply with legal regulations.
UBS is reportedly linked to Chinese military companies under U.S. sanctions, investing around $1 billion in fighter jet manufacturer Avic Xi"an and surveillance supplier Hikvision through joint ventures. Despite selling shares after the sanctions were imposed, UBS"s joint ventures have made significant purchases, raising concerns about potential U.S. retaliation. The bank maintains that its investments comply with U.S. laws, asserting that trading of these securities is permissible outside the U.S. as long as U.S. persons are not involved.
The government is considering lifting the suspension on futures trading for oil, oilseeds, and pulses, following pressure from the National Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX). While discussions are ongoing, the ban on paddy and wheat futures is expected to remain. The NCDEX is advocating for the resumption of trading, citing the need for market maturity and reduced reliance on international price signals, as India imports a significant portion of its edible oil.
UBS is reportedly involved in sensitive business with US-sanctioned Chinese military companies, including stakes in Aviation Industry Corporation of China and Hikvision. Despite reducing investments post-sanctions, joint ventures have increased exposure. The bank has stated it adheres to US regulations, but the timing of this revelation poses challenges as UBS seeks a full banking license in the USA.

Restaurant executives are optimistic about 2025 following a challenging 2024 marked by a 50% increase in bankruptcy filings and declining traffic. However, recent data shows a 2.8% rise in fast-food traffic in October, and falling interest rates may boost consumer confidence and restaurant growth. Despite this, some chains continue to face headwinds, with value competition intensifying and concerns about a slow consumer recovery lingering.
The Swiss Federal Council has opted for a VAT increase to finance the 13th AHV pension, rejecting a mixed funding proposal that included higher employee contributions. This decision, influenced by a right-wing majority, faces challenges in Parliament and may lead to further discussions on pension reforms by 2026. A center-left alliance is pushing for a re-evaluation of the mixed financing solution, which could impact future pension funding strategies.
Deflation has emerged in various sectors, with prices for physical goods like appliances, clothing, and new cars declining since October 2023. The consumer price index indicates a 1% drop in core goods, driven by normalized supply chains and a strong U.S. dollar. Energy prices, including gasoline, have also significantly decreased, contributing to lower costs in other areas, while food prices are influenced by unique supply-demand dynamics.
