Zurich's financial dependency on banks raises concerns amid UBS speculation
UBS's potential departure from Zurich poses a significant risk to the city's tax revenue and job market, as banks contribute nearly 40% of corporate taxes. Despite the challenges faced by the banking sector, tax contributions from banks have risen steadily since 2020, highlighting Zurich's ongoing dependence on its financial center. The city's efforts to diversify its economy have had limited success, with major tech companies like Google paying most taxes in their home countries.
