Stefan Walter, Switzerland's financial regulator, is pushing for stricter capital requirements for UBS, potentially increasing its obligations by $25 billion. His assertive approach aims to disrupt the previously cozy relationship between banks and regulators, reflecting a shift in public appetite for enhanced scrutiny following the Credit Suisse crisis. Walter's leadership has led to significant penalties against several financial firms, signaling a new era of accountability in Swiss finance.
Swiss regulator criticized for mishandling Credit Suisse collapse inquiry findings
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.
