INTERVIEW - Führende Bankenprofessorin warnt das Parlament vor Verwässerung der UBS-Vorlage: «Die heutige UBS ist wie die CS strukturiert»
Corinne Zellweger-Gutknecht hält die Vorschläge einflussreicher Ständeräte in der Kapitaldebatte für gefährlich. Im Interview sagt sie, wie die Grossbank krisenfest gemacht werden kann.
Corinne Zellweger-Gutknecht, a leading bank professor, warns the parliament against diluting the UBS proposal. In an interview, she explains how the large bank can be made crisis-resistant. The commission of the Ständerat has already postponed the decision on the stricter capital rules for the second time. Zellweger-Gutknecht says that the politicians involved are not overwhelmed by the matter; they are genuinely trying to understand the business and are investing considerable time.
She admits being jointly responsible for the postponement of the decision this week, alongside her Basler professor colleague Yvan Lengwiler. Their proposal aims to address the weaknesses of UBS's foreign holdings, which currently need to be fully funded with hard core capital, as opposed to the Bundesrat's demand.
