Key messages and regulatory context

  • Proposed Swiss capital measures are criticized as excessive, disproportionate, and misaligned with international standards, combining the strictest elements from global peers and deviating from Basel norms.

  • The changes would require UBS to hold up to USD 42 billion (CHF 24 billion) in additional CET1 capital, eliminating $11 billion of CET1 at group level and reducing the CET1 ratio by about 2 percentage points, making requirements up to 50% higher than in the EU, UK, and USA.

  • Switzerland already has one of the strictest capital regimes globally, with minimum requirements well above international peers.

  • The proposals are seen as lacking solid analytical basis or cost-benefit analysis and risk undermining competitiveness and imposing significant costs on the Swiss economy.

  • UBS supports targeted, proportionate, and internationally aligned regulation, endorsing improvements if they do not unduly restrict operational flexibility.

Critique of specific ordinance proposals

  • Full deduction of capitalized software and deferred tax assets from CET1 capital is viewed as unnecessary, unprecedented internationally, and would destroy about $11 billion of capital at group level.

  • Stricter prudential valuation adjustments (PVAs) are seen as unjustified and more conservative than most foreign jurisdictions, inconsistently aligned with EBA standards.

  • The approach to AT1 capital instruments, including automatic suspension of coupon payments after four quarters of losses, is criticized as pro-cyclical, stigmatizing, and deviating from global norms.

  • The approach to foreign subsidiaries would require excessive capital, far exceeding international standards and potentially provoking regulatory fragmentation.

  • Measures do not differentiate between going concern capital and loss-absorbing capacity, disregarding $20 billion in AT1 and $100 billion in loss-absorbing debt.

Lessons from Credit Suisse and regulatory effectiveness

  • Credit Suisse's failure was due to unsustainable strategy, poor culture, and weak risk management, not capital inadequacy.

  • Expert reports confirm Credit Suisse was resolvable, though at higher cost and risk than the UBS-led solution.

  • UBS's rescue of Credit Suisse demonstrates the effectiveness of the Swiss capital framework if strictly applied.

  • Regulatory concessions allowed prolonged inaction at Credit Suisse.

  • The proposals are not justified by lessons from the Credit Suisse crisis.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
