New 14-nation #trade partnership has no aspirations to evolve into a new regional trade agreement and is "open to other interested countries and also includes the private sector," - #SwissGovernment.

UBS shares rise: Swiss government proposes tough new capital rules Investing.com -- The Swiss government has proposed stringent new capital rules, mandating that banking giant UBS bolster its core capital by an additional $26 billion. The move follows UBS’s acquisition of Credit Suisse in 2023. The proposed measures also require UBS to fully capitalize its foreign units and could lead to a reduction in share buybacks. The government’s statement on Friday indicated that "the rise in the going-concern requirement needs to be met with up to USD 26 billion of CET1 capital, to allow the AT1 bond holdings to be reduced by around USD 8 billion." This effectively translates to a net requirement of $18 billion in new capital. Following the announcement, UBS shares jumped, currently up around 3.5%. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) expressed its support for the government’s proposals, stating that they will "significantly strengthen" UBS’s resilience. The SNB believes the measures will reduce the likelihood of a systemically important bank like UBS facing financial distress and increase its capacity to stabilize itself in a crisis, thereby making a government bailout less likely.

Shame on my #Swissgovernment No surprise here: always chosing #thewrongsideofHistory collaborating with evil axis under cover of neutrality.
Disgusting.

Oh my... I wish my #SwissGovernment had half the brain and perspicacity of Danish PM. But no... our makeshift president is melting down in admiration of US VP speech. So much for neutrality. Pathetic.

@eda-dfae.bsky.social #SwissGovernment : instead of making it difficult for Ukrainians to get a refugee legal permit in 🇨🇭 you'd rather stop this disgusting unlegit kind of business that makes 🇨🇭 the accomplice of #russiaWarCrimes

Shame on my #SwissGovernment once again, always on the wrong side of History, brandishing Neutrality while allowing profitable dirty business. Not surprising, Swiss would have elected Trump if they could, largest party in parlament being far-right (UDC/SVP)🤢
