In December 2022, Ueli Maurer misled the public about the stability of Credit Suisse, despite knowing the bank was in crisis. Following a significant liquidity outflow, he and CS Chairman Axel Lehmann falsely assured the public of a stabilized situation, while internal discussions revealed growing concerns about the bank's viability. By late December, CS's liquidity had drastically diminished, leading to its eventual downfall just months later.
The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry revealed a split within the Swiss National Bank (SNB) regarding the Credit Suisse (CS) crisis. While then-Chairman Thomas Jordan and Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter favored a UBS takeover, SNB Vice President Martin Schlegel advocated for nationalization, believing it would better ensure financial stability. Additionally, FINMA President Marlene Amstad preferred a restructuring of CS that would keep it under private ownership, but the UBS acquisition ultimately proceeded at a bargain price.
The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CEP) concluded that the collapse of Credit Suisse was primarily due to the bank's management failures, including a lack of cooperation with regulatory authorities and poor risk management. Despite significant profits, the board's reluctance to heed warnings from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (Finma) contributed to the erosion of investor confidence. The CEP also criticized Finma for granting regulatory relief that masked the bank's true capital situation, suggesting that systemic banks should no longer receive such leniency.
The PUK report reveals significant failings among Swiss authorities in managing the Credit Suisse crisis, highlighting a lack of coordination, mistrust, and delayed action that contributed to the bank's downfall. Despite portraying a successful rescue, the report exposes the inadequacies of FINMA, the SNB, and the Federal Council in crisis management and regulatory oversight. The findings underscore the need for accountability and reform to prevent future banking failures.
The PUK's report on the Credit Suisse crisis has sparked varied reactions from political parties, highlighting mismanagement by bank leaders and calling for stricter regulations. The FDP praises its Federal Councillor for crisis management, while the SP demands a ban on bonuses for UBS managers and compensation for taxpayers. The Greens and Center Party echo calls for enhanced oversight and accountability in the banking sector.
The Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry's report on the Credit Suisse crisis has sparked varied reactions, with calls for the resignation of FINMA chairwoman Marlene Amstad and criticism of the bank's management for strategic failures.

The PUK report attributes the downfall of Credit Suisse primarily to management missteps, while highlighting the leniency of politicians and authorities towards the banking lobby. It criticizes the "too big to fail" regulation as inadequate during crises and calls for urgent reforms to prevent future failures, especially with UBS's increased risk.
Aline Darbellay, a specialist in banking and capital market law, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of FINMA, effective January 1, 2025. She succeeds Susan Emmenegger, who is leaving to become Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Bern. With over 15 years of experience, Darbellay is currently an assistant professor at the University of Zurich, focusing on commercial and business law.
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 final report from the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (PCI) on the Credit Suisse crisis will influence Swiss banking regulations, focusing on the actions of authorities during the emergency merger with UBS. It scrutinizes the conduct of FINMA and the Swiss National Bank, highlighting potential failings by former Finance Minister Ueli Maurer. Recommendations from the PCI are expected to shape future regulations for "too big to fail" banks, with amendments likely to be proposed by the Federal Council in 2025.
