The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (PUK) has released a report analyzing the emergency takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS, highlighting failures by the bank's executives and the Federal Council in addressing systemic risks. The report includes 20 recommendations, emphasizing the need for improved coordination among authorities and urgent reforms to "too big to fail" legislation, which inadequately addressed international interdependencies and crisis management. Despite these shortcomings, the PUK acknowledged that the authorities' intervention prevented a global financial crisis.
The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (PCI) has concluded that the Board of Directors and Executive Board of Credit Suisse are primarily responsible for the bank's collapse, citing their reluctance to heed warnings from the Financial Market Authority (FINMA). The report criticizes the Federal Council for delaying the adoption of international banking standards and highlights inadequate crisis management and communication among authorities during the liquidity crisis in late 2022. While acknowledging that interventions prevented a global financial crisis, the PCI emphasizes the need for reforms to avoid future failures of systemically important banks.
Ueli Maurer, Switzerland's former Finance Minister, faced criticism for withholding crucial information about Credit Suisse's precarious situation from his Federal Council colleagues. His solitary approach and lack of transparency hindered effective management during the bank's crisis, ultimately leading to significant challenges for the government as it navigated the fallout from the bank's instability.
