The Swiss National Bank (SNB) said UBS already has sufficient capital to meet the Swiss government's proposed tougher banking rules introduced after the 2023 collapse of Credit Suisse. The reforms would require UBS to fully capitalize its foreign subsidiaries and are expected to increase the bank's common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital requirement by about
$20 billion.
SNB Vice Chairman Antoine Martin described the proposal as proportionate, saying it would align UBS's capital requirements with those of global peers. According to the central bank's 2026 Financial Stability Report, UBS holds
$13 billion more eligible CET1 capital than required under current rules set to take full effect by 2030, along with an additional
$9 billion capital buffer at the end of 2025. The SNB said that, including those buffers, UBS already has enough capital to satisfy the proposed reforms.
