The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA has completed its annual assessment of the emergency and recovery plans for the domestic systemically important banks. The emergency plans for Zürcher Kantonalbank and Raiffeisen fulfil the regulatory requirements. The emergency plan for PostFinance does not yet meet all regulatory requirements. FINMA has once again approved the recovery plans for all three institutions. 

Alexandra Karg, Head of the Operations division and a member of the Executive Board, has decided to leave the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA on 30 November 2026, after 10 successful years. FINMA’s CEO and Executive Board thank Alexandra Karg for her valuable contribution during her time at FINMA. As a result of this departure, the organisational structure will also be adjusted. Specifically, the Operations division will be streamlined and renamed Digital and Infrastructure. A new division – Business Management and Strategy – will be established, comprising the Finance, Human Resources, Communications, CEO Office and Implementation of Transformation sections and groups, and will ensure integrated business management in line with the defined strategy.
