Course overview
Nearly two years after the Credit Suisse rescue, Switzerland is close to resolving a bitter dispute over UBS’s capital requirements. A cross-party political compromise would allow UBS to use AT1 debt instead of relying solely on CET1 equity to back foreign subsidiaries, dramatically reducing the capital burden. The proposal also abandons stricter asset valuation rules and formalises limits on investment banking risk. For investors, the reforms could remove a major overhang on UBS shares and signal a more pragmatic regulatory approach that balances stability with global competitiveness.
