An investigation by Swiss parliamentarians revealed a culture of secrecy within the government leading up to the 2023 collapse of Credit Suisse. Informal "non-meetings" among officials, aimed at avoiding leaks, left key ministers uninformed and hindered crisis management, ultimately damaging Switzerland's financial reputation. The report highlights the lack of documentation and communication that contributed to the bank's chaotic sale to UBS.
An investigation by Swiss lawmakers revealed a culture of secrecy that contributed to the collapse of Credit Suisse in 2023. The report details how informal, undocumented meetings among officials led to confusion and a lack of preparedness, ultimately resulting in the bank's sale to UBS amid a financial crisis.
UBS acknowledges the Parliamentary Investigation Committee's report on Credit Suisse's collapse, attributing it to strategic missteps and mismanagement. The bank supports most proposals to enhance the financial center's resilience but insists on targeted and internationally coordinated regulatory adjustments. Meanwhile, the Swiss National Bank emphasizes the need for stronger regulations in capital, liquidity, and early intervention measures following the crisis. Former Finance Minister Ueli Maurer has yet to comment on the report, pending his review.
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.
The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CEP) has released a report on the Credit Suisse crisis, attributing the bank's downfall to years of mismanagement and criticizing the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) for its inadequate oversight. The report highlights the need for improved TBTF legislation and a public liquidity backstop mechanism, while acknowledging that the authorities successfully averted a global financial crisis during the bank's forced merger with UBS in March 2023.
Ueli Maurer, Switzerland's former Finance Minister, faced criticism for withholding crucial information about Credit Suisse's precarious situation from his Federal Council colleagues.

The FINMA has the authority to release individuals who no longer meet the standards for excellent commercial activity. A parliamentary commission criticized the late development of "Too-big-to-fail" regulations and insufficient communication among authorities, yet acknowledged that they prevented a global financial crisis in March 2023. The Credit Suisse faced severe liquidity losses, leading to urgent discussions about its future, culminating in its acquisition by UBS.
The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (PUK) criticized Swiss authorities for their handling of Credit Suisse's downfall, emphasizing that the bank's management, not the regulators, was primarily responsible. Despite significant losses and warnings from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (Finma), CS's leadership failed to act decisively, leading to a crisis that nearly triggered a global financial disaster. The PUK calls for stronger regulatory measures and better crisis detection systems to prevent future failures.
A parliamentary commission report reveals that the management of Credit Suisse is primarily responsible for its downfall, with regulatory body FINMA criticized for its leniency.

The findings highlight the inadequacy of existing regulations to handle significant banking crises.
The Parliamentary Investigation Committee (PUK) report reveals that the collapse of Credit Suisse (CS) was exacerbated by ineffective oversight from FINMA and a lack of timely communication among Swiss officials. Despite years of significant losses, CS continued to pay out substantial bonuses, weakening its capital base.
