Swiss lawmakers are in a heated debate over how much capital UBS must hold for its global operations, with a key committee voting 10-2 to slash the requirement from 100% to 50% common equity tier one capital — the rest allowed to be cheaper forms. The move comes in the wake of Credit Suisse’s collapse, as regulators seek to balance taxpayer protection with Switzerland’s financial competitiveness. While UBS argues the original demand is too burdensome, the committee frames its decision as a pragmatic compromise for the nation’s banking sector. The proposal still faces hurdles in the full parliamentary process and may face tougher opposition in the lower house — with a final ruling likely not until 2027.
