Zurich, 26 September 2025 – In its response to the planned amendments to the Capital Adequacy Ordinance and the “parameters” for a package of legislation presented by the Federal Council on 6 June 2025, the Swiss Bankers Association (SBA) welcomes the aim of further strengthening the stability of the financial centre. It supports action on specific lessons learned from the Credit Suisse crisis, such as improving the provision of liquidity and setting out clear responsibilities, but it rejects a wave of regulation affecting the entire industry, extreme solutions and an approach that is at odds with international norms. The SBA stresses that the right balance must be struck between system stability and competitiveness to bolster Switzerland’s standing as a business and finance hub instead of weakening it.
