Deutsche Bahn: „Wir brauchen funktionierende Züge, kein weiteres Redesign“
Die Bahn feiert ihre Beschäftigten im neuen Markenauftritt als „Die Macher:innen“. Im Intranet kontern diese fast geschlossen mit beißender Kritik. Dann meldet sich der Konzern.
In Europe, wealthy Germans have long been fans of Swiss banks. Despite the weakening importance of Swiss banking secrecy, the financial hub continues to enjoy a sterling reputation. However, a new EU directive under the EU-banking package has caused a stir. Though enacted nearly two years ago, its implementation draws nearer. As of January 11, 2027, new rules for banks from third countries will apply when dealing with customers in the European Union.
Known as the Capital Requirements Directive VI (CRD VI), the directive aims to strengthen financial stability and eliminate the patchwork of regulations across Europe. One consequence: banks will no longer be able to pursue certain business practices originating from Zurich, London, New York, or Tokyo. If institutions from third countries wish to continue offering core services (savings accounts, loans, and guarantees) to EU citizens, they will need a branch in the respective EU country.
CRD VI affects banks from countries such as the UK, the US, Japan, and Singapore – including Swiss banks. For Swiss banks, the EU represents one of their most important foreign markets. Nearly 40 percent of cross-border assets managed from Switzerland originate from Western Europe, which includes EU states.
