Credit default risk and property valuation risk in particular are a key focus. In its guidance, FINMA sets out the findings from its supervisory activities in the area of mortgages, thereby creating transparency.

Das Eidgenössische Departement für Wirtschaft, Bildung und Forschung WBF hat Änderungen der Anhänge 1, 2, 8, 29 und 33 der Verordnung vom 4. März 2022 über Massnahmen im Zusammenhang mit der Situation in der Ukraine (SR 946.231.176.72) publiziert.

The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) supports the parameters presented by the Federal Council for the preparation of the draft consultation on amendments to the Banking Act. In particular, it supports the planned new statutory powers for FINMA in the areas of corporate governance, early intervention, recovery and resolution, as well as the introduction of higher capital requirements for systemically important banks with subsidiaries abroad. The proposed measures are key to strengthening the resilience of banks in the event of a crisis and thus the stability of the financial system.
