Karin Keller-Sutter, the current Finance Minister, criticized her predecessor Ueli Maurer for a "less than optimal" handover amid the Credit Suisse crisis, which was deemed self-inflicted. She noted that there was no discussion about the handover and that she never met Maurer after taking office, despite his assurances of stability. Keller-Sutter defended her communication with the Federal Council, asserting she informed them adequately about the bank's issues shortly after her transition to the Finance Department.
