UBS is scrutinizing their approach to capital reserve demands
In a significant move, Swiss banking giant UBS has successfully integrated approximately half of Credit Suisse's customers as part of the merger. This integration has led to a shift in focus for UBS, with all business areas now benefiting from the takeover.
The Chief Financial Officer of UBS, in a recent statement, confirmed the positive impact of the takeover on the bank's various business areas. However, no specific details have been provided about the exact benefits derived from the merger.
Meanwhile, UBS is keeping a close eye on the potential impacts of US tariffs on corporate loans in Switzerland. This observation comes amidst speculation about the bank's growing involvement in the US market.
Rumours of UBS considering a move of its headquarters to the US have been circulating, with a US newspaper reporting such plans. However, UBS management has not yet provided any concrete details about such a move. The proposal for UBS to consider relocating its headquarters to the USA was made in response to new, stricter Swiss capital requirements following the Credit Suisse acquisition.
The bank's management has expressed concerns about a proposed increase in capital by 26 billion dollars from the federal government, considering it excessive. Despite this, UBS is not making any concrete decisions regarding regulations at present.
The US market plays a central role in UBS's growth investments. As a result, the bank is now focusing on attracting new funds, with a target of 100 billion US dollars this year. UBS is optimistic about reaching its pre-Credit Suisse takeover payout level by 2026, according to Tuckner.
However, no new details about the growth investments or the potential strategies for attracting these funds have been disclosed by UBS. The bank continues to navigate the complexities of the integration process and the changing regulatory landscape, with a focus on maintaining its strong position in the global banking industry.
