ZURICH, April 24 (Reuters) - Switzerland's UBS said on Monday it will retain Christian Bluhm as chief risk officer for the "foreseeable future" as it bolsters controls during the takeover of Credit Suisse. Vogel has now been appointed to a newly-created role of group risk control head of integration, where he will oversee risk functions related to the Credit Suisse deal, UBS said. Credit Suisse was mired in a string of scandals over the years, resulting in a Swiss-orchestrated takeover by UBS. The larger bank, which has largely avoided the missteps of Credit Suisse, will publish its first-quarter result on Tuesday. Credit Suisse said on Monday it suffered 61 billion Swiss francs ($68 billion) in net asset outflows in the first quarter.

Customer deposits declined by CHF 67 bn in 1Q23," the bank said. The acquisition is expected to be consummated by the end of this year, if possible, but the full absorption of Credit Suisse's business into UBS Group is expected to take around three to four years. UBS on Monday announced that its Group Chief Risk Officer Christian Bluhm will remain in post due to the planned acquisition of Credit Suisse, delaying a planned May 1 handover 1 to Damien Vogel, who will now take up the newly-created role of group risk control head of integration.
