A parliamentary inquiry has attributed the collapse of Credit Suisse in March 2023 to years of mismanagement by its Board of Directors and management, while federal authorities were found not at fault. The report emphasizes the need for improved crisis management and legislative reforms, highlighting delays in decision-making and insufficient supervision by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The commission has proposed twenty recommendations to prevent future failures of systemically important banks.
The Swiss parliament's inquiry into Credit Suisse's collapse criticized the financial regulator Finma for granting inappropriate capital relief, which masked the bank's true financial state. The report highlighted years of mismanagement at Credit Suisse and called for enhanced regulatory powers for Finma, including the ability to impose fines on banks and their executives. It also urged the government to reform the bonus system and improve crisis response measures, paving the way for new financial legislation in Switzerland.
The Swiss parliament criticized the leadership of the financial regulator Finma for its role in the collapse of Credit Suisse, highlighting a 2017 decision that obscured the bank's true financial state. The inquiry found that Finma's regulatory filter allowed Credit Suisse to appear adequately capitalized until its demise, ultimately leading to an emergency takeover by UBS. Lawmakers are now advocating for stronger regulatory powers for Finma, including the ability to impose fines on banks and individuals.
