UBS Group AG has expressed opposition to a proposed increase of up to $26 billion in fresh capital requirements by the Swiss government. The bank considers the demand “extreme” and will explore measures to mitigate its impact, while continuing to push for relaxed regulations.
The proposal, made by the Swiss Federal Council, would require UBS to back its foreign subsidiaries fully at its parent bank. This is estimated to result in UBS adding as much as $23 billion in capital to its Swiss-based main unit, with the remaining amount to be covered through other means.
