INTERVIEW - Leading banking professor warns parliament against watering down UBS proposal: "Today's UBS is structured like CS"

Corinne Zellweger-Gutknecht, a representative of UBS, criticizes proposals by influential Swiss senators in the capital debate as hazardous. She suggests that the bank can be made crisis-proof through a reform proposal she and Yvan Lengwiler submitted. The proposal aims to address weaknesses in the current regulation of AT1 bonds and ensure that UBS's foreign subsidiaries are fully financed with equity capital.

Zellweger-Gutknecht argues that the current structure and capital requirements of UBS are not aligned, posing risks to the bank's stability.
