Zurich, 21 September 2026 - Following recent developments in the political process and public statements on banking regulation, UBS today published an additional position paper on the regulatory proposals currently under consideration in Switzerland.
The publication comes as the debate on Swiss banking regulation has included differing interpretations, misconceptions and incomplete representations of several key issues.
As the institution most directly affected by the proposals, UBS considers it both its duty and its right to clarify the facts before the parliamentary deliberations continue. This is intended to contribute to an informed, fact-based discussion. UBS supports regulatory adjustments that are targeted, proportionate, internationally aligned and address the causes of the Credit Suisse crisis.
To support a fact-based discussion on Swiss banking regulation, UBS offers this position paper with facts, figures and background information on topics such as the strengthening of Additional Tier 1 (AT1) instruments and the protection of Swiss taxpayers.
This paper "Swiss TBTF discussion - Key points for the debate on the Banking Act" complements the document "Swiss TBTF discussion - facts and figures" that was published in July 2026. Both documents are available at ubs.com/bankingstability.
