Switzerland's financial regulator ruled on Wednesday that the UBS takeover of Credit Suisse did not create any competition concerns, despite recommendations from the country's antitrust watchdog that it merited further scrutiny. "The merger of UBS and Credit Suisse will not eliminate effective competition in any market segment," Swiss financial regulator FINMA said in a statement. UBS said it will continue to implement its integration of Credit Suisse after FINMA's report. It also narrowed the financing options for the country's high-cost, export-orientated companies, especially with Credit Suisse seen as the bank which supported entrepreneurs. "When I look at the discussion after Credit Suisse's rescue by UBS, I see more fear than courage," he said in Lucerne.

Swiss banking giant UBS on Tuesday narrowly beat fourth-quarter earnings expectations and announced that it would recommence share buybacks worth up to $1 billion in the second half of the year. The group posted a net loss attributable to shareholders of $279 million for the quarter. Analysts polled by LSEG had expected a net loss attributable to shareholders of $372 million. In the third quarter, UBS had posted a bigger-than-expected net loss attributable to shareholders of $785 million — which factored in $2 billion in expenses related to the integration of fallen rival Credit Suisse. UBS shares have made an indifferent start to 2024, closing Monday's trade down 1.5% since the turn of the year.

UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti on Wednesday said people with concerns about the size of the bank's balance sheet are getting "indoctrinated" by academics and should "do their homework." The bank's share price has recovered from below 17 Swiss francs ($19.69) per share in the aftermath of the deal to over 25 Swiss francs as of Wednesday morning. However, the new entity's combined balance sheet is estimated to be around twice the size of the entire GDP of Switzerland, raising concerns about the concentration of risk in the Swiss economy. "If you look at risk-weighted assets as a percentage of GDP or as a percentage of our balance sheet, you will discover that the new UBS is de facto very low risk, very focused business model. The risk we have is in Swiss mortgages, in Lombard loans, in stuff that is very low risk," he said.

REUTERS/Heiko Becker//File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsFRANKFURT, Nov 16 (Reuters) - The European Central Bank's chief supervisor on Thursday supported creating global standards for convertible bonds that were wiped out as part of Credit Suisse's rescue by rival UBS (UBSG.S) earlier this year. The Basel Committee said in a report last month it would review the features of AT1 bonds, including the "loss-absorbing hierarchy". But Credit Suisse's bonds contained a clause allowing authorities the write down those bonds without winding down the bank. This clause is not a feature in bonds issued by European Union banks and the ECB has made clear that it would impose losses on shareholders first.

"I am pretty confident that we will continue to see some good winbacks from assets that left Credit Suisse," Ermotti told a conference organised by the Swiss Finance Institute. He also said he did not expect Credit Suisse's integration to extend beyond 2026. Reporting by Noele Illien Editing by Tomasz JanowskiOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

ZURICH, Nov 9 (Reuters) - UBS's Chief Executive said the Swiss bank's ability to raise $3.5 billion from the issuance of its first Additional Tier 1 (AT1) bond sale since taking over Credit Suisse was a sign of confidence for UBS and the Swiss financial system. "People are slowly but surely recognising that that event in March was an idiosyncratic event," Sergio Ermotti said speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum in Singapore on Thursday. The shotgun merger between the two banks had seen Credit Suisse's $17 billion of AT1 bonds wiped out. An AT1 rout that followed had raised concern about the future of an asset introduced after the 2008 financial crisis to act as shock absorbers if bank capital levels fell below a certain threshold. "People understand that the AT1 is a very important element of our capital stack and we have the credibility to continue to use it," Ermotti said.

[1/2] A woman shops for groceries at El Progreso Market in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood of Washington, D.C., U.S., August 19, 2022. The U.S. banking sector was in turmoil in the spring as Silicon Valley Bank abruptly collapsed after grappling with large amounts of unrealized losses spurred by rapidly rising interest rates. She said reinflation was a risk, especially if banks do not correctly anticipate interest rate moves and adjust their portfolios appropriately. That led to unrealized losses across the sector coming under closer scrutiny. Global banking and securities regulators are also still grappling with the fallout from the collapse of Credit Suisse Group (CSGC.UL).

Christian Sewing, CEO of Deutsche Bank, poses after an interview with Reuters in Hong Kong, China September 8, 2023. Asia offers higher profit margins than other regions, according to Sewing, who took the helm at the lender in 2018. It operates in 15 markets in Asia Pacific and generates about 15% of its global revenue in the region, he said. Sewing said that the demand for advice from clients in Asia Pacific was far higher than two or three years ago. At that time, it announced plans to cut around 18,000 staff worldwide, with teams disbanded and jobs cut in most of its Asia Pacific markets.

Logos of Swiss banks Credit Suisse and UBS are seen before a news conference in Zurich Switzerland, August 30, 2023. The state-engineered merger led to a wipeout of $17 billion of Credit Suisse's AT1 bonds. "Their structure is very new and shows they listened to investors who were angry about the permanent write-down feature," said Jerome Legras, head of research at Axiom Alternative Investments, who held Credit Suisse AT1 bonds before the March banking crisis. The Credit Suisse AT1s wipeout spurned a number of claims against Switzerland's financial regulator FINMA, which inverted the long-established seniority of bondholders over shareholders over the assets of a company in distress. That dented sentiment in the key market for bank bonds and prompted regulators in Europe and Asia to reassure investors.

ZURICH, Nov 7 (Reuters) - UBS Group (UBSG.S) posted a $785 million loss in the third quarter after expenses tied to the Swiss bank's takeover of Credit Suisse while signalling that its core wealth business is stabilising. Stripping out the impact of the takeover, UBS made an underlying profit of $844 million. With the takeover, UBS now oversees more than $5 trillion in assets. It has been working to recover from the exodus of client funds from Credit Suisse with above-market rates on deposits. It also continued to cut staff, which accounted for a big chunk of the more than 2 billion Swiss francs ($2.22 billion) of costs related to integration.

Analysts at Goldman Sachs had expected $14 billion for the group, with the Swiss bank already disclosing $8 billion for the months of July and August.

Thomas Jordan, president of the Swiss National Bank (SNB), speaks during the bank's annual general meeting in Bern, Switzerland, on Friday, April 28, 2023. Swiss National Bank Chairman Thomas Jordan on Wednesday said the central bank's interventions during the fall of Credit Suisse were "crucial" to avoid a "financial crisis" worldwide. As part of this, SNB injected 168 billion Swiss francs ($185 billion) in emergency liquidity. This bought time for the central bank, alongside regulator FINMA and the Swiss authorities, to broker Credit Suisse's emergency sale to domestic rival UBS in March for a discounted price of just 3 billion Swiss francs. UBS in August announced that it had ended Credit Suisse's government and central bank protections after completion of the takeover, including an emergency liquidity assistance plus (ELA+) loan of 50 billion Swiss francs obtained from the SNB.

SNB vice-chairman says further rate hikes may be needed

The building of the Swiss National Bank is seen in Zurich, September 22, 2022. SNB last month held its policy interest rate unchanged at 1.75%, noting that inflation - at 1.6% in August and within the central bank's target range of 0-2% - had eased. The vast majority of economists polled by Reuters last month, however, said that the SNB was done with interest rate hikes. He also said that AT1 bonds, which were written off as part of UBS' (UBSG.S) takeover of Credit Suisse, should have been loss-making at an earlier stage. "Despite ongoing losses, Credit Suisse did not suspend interest payments on these instruments," Schlegel said.

REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Oct 25 (Reuters) - Mozambican President Filipe Nyusi was ultimately responsible for the failure of the projects at the centre of the "tuna bond" scandal, the owner of Emirati-Lebanese shipbuilder Privinvest told London's High Court on Wednesday. "When President Nyusi replaced former President Guebuza a power struggle ensued between them," Safa said. "President Nyusi made deliberate decisions to undermine the projects and as a result the republic failed to take the necessary steps to monetize the projects as intended." The trial began in earnest last week after a delay caused by Mozambique's 11th-hour settlement with Credit Suisse's new owner, UBS (UBSG.S).

The case centres on deals struck by state-owned companies with Privinvest for loans and bonds from banks including Credit Suisse in 2013 and 2014 for fishing boats and maritime security. Mozambique alleged Privinvest paid bribes on an "industrial scale", involving the "grand corruption" of officials including Mozambique's former Finance Minister Manuel Chang, court filings showed. Chang was extradited to the U.S., where in July he pleaded not guilty to fraud and money laundering charges related to the tuna bonds scandal.

The report, however, exposed tensions and conflicts at the heart of a process that ultimately required Switzerland to initially back the emergency rescue of Credit Suisse by rival UBS (UBSG.S) with public money to avert panic. The officials summed up that the "resolution" rules for shutting a collapsing bank without panicking markets could have worked for Credit Suisse, though public money would still likely have been needed. The FSB report sheds new light on events that led to Credit Suisse's downfall. The FSB said Switzerland's action preserved financial stability, even if it raised questions as to why the resolution was not chosen.

The DOJ is also looking into possible compliance failures at UBS, one of the people cited by Bloomberg said.
