The future of Credit Suisse's business in Switzerland is being closely watched as one of UBS's key strategic decisions. Credit Suisse's Swiss bank is one of the lender's four operating units and is seen as the jewel in the crown. In January, Credit Suisse had moved the business from its broader investment banking division into the Swiss unit, according to Credit Suisse's 2022 annual report. On a possible sale, Ermotti has said all options for the Swiss business are on the table. On Sunday, NZZ am Sonntag newspaper reported that UBS was working towards spinning off Credit Suisse's domestic unit.
