Swiss Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter has ruled out the possibility of UBS leaving Switzerland to avoid stricter capital requirements, saying such a move would cost the banking group more than continuing to operate within the country.
Her comments came in response to speculation in financial circles about the possibility of UBS relocating its core operations outside Switzerland, amid ongoing debate over the regulatory framework governing major banks in the country.
Keller-Sutter provided no additional details about the rules in question or any timeline for potential changes, emphasising only that remaining in the Swiss market is the most economically viable option for the group.
The remarks come in the context of a broader debate in Switzerland over capital requirements for systemically important banks, without the published statement including specific figures or dates regarding any anticipated regulatory adjustments.
UBS has not yet issued a public comment on the Swiss minister's statements.
