Market Chatter: Swiss Central Bank Vice-Chairman Supports Tougher Rules on Banks, Including UBS

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 12/11/25 06:25 AM EST

06:25 AM EST, 12/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- UBS (UBS) continues to face support for stricter proposed banking regulations by the Swiss National Bank, Reuters reported Thursday, citing the vice-chairman of the Swiss central bank.

"We believe that these measures are appropriate and targeted," Antoine Martin reportedly told Reuters regarding new proposed capital and risk management requirements for large Swiss banks like UBS. "We also believe that these measures are neither extreme nor excessive."

UBS opposes the measures proposed in response to the 2023 taxpayer-backed takeover of the collapsed Credit Suisse by UBS.

UBS did not immediately reply to MT Newswires' request for comment.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
