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.
A Swiss parliamentary inquiry revealed that secretive "non-meetings" and a culture of mistrust among officials severely hindered the government's response to Credit Suisse's 2023 collapse. Key ministers were left uninformed, complicating preparations for the eventual UBS takeover and damaging Switzerland's reputation as a financial haven. The report highlights the detrimental effects of secrecy within the government, which ultimately contributed to the crisis.
The PUK report reveals that Credit Suisse faced imminent insolvency, with its share value plummeting to zero, prompting urgent discussions among top officials about nationalization or a merger with UBS. Despite initial resistance from CS management regarding the proposed compensation, a takeover agreement was reached just hours later, averting a potential financial crisis.

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.
The parliamentary commission of inquiry (PUK) has concluded that years of mismanagement at Credit Suisse (CS) led to its downfall, while also highlighting failures by the federal government in regulating the bank. The PUK found no misconduct by authorities during the crisis but called for improved financial supervision and better communication among regulatory bodies. Criticism was directed at former CS executives and Finance Minister Ueli Maurer for their roles in the bank's issues, particularly regarding compliance with supervisory demands.
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.
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. This regulatory filter allowed Credit Suisse to appear adequately capitalized until its demise in early 2023, despite ongoing scandals and client withdrawals. The inquiry report also noted that Finma failed to enforce accountability among Credit Suisse staff, despite identifying numerous deficiencies.
The PUK report reveals that Credit Suisse faced imminent insolvency, prompting urgent discussions among top officials about nationalization or a merger with UBS. Ultimately, a takeover was agreed upon, with UBS paying CHF 3 billion, while the Swiss government prepared for potential state intervention. The report highlights significant miscommunication and differing opinions among financial authorities regarding the bank's rescue options.
Today at 10:30 a.m., the Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry will unveil a significant report on the rapid collapse of Credit Suisse, raising questions about the failures in oversight by Finma, led by Marlene Amstad since 2021. Critics argue that Amstad had the authority to intervene but chose not to, leading to calls for her resignation. The report will scrutinize why Finma, which has previously acted decisively against smaller banks, failed to take action against Credit Suisse.
