SWITZERLAND FINANCIAL SYSTEM STABILITY ASSESSMENT August 26, 2025 KEY ISSUES Context:The Swiss financial system is large, sophisticated, and of global importance,especially through its asset and wealth management services. It has faced significantchallenges since the last FSAP, most notably during the collapse of Credit Suisse (CS),its second largest Global Systemically Important Bank (G-SIB). Financial stability waspreserved through exceptional government measures, which attracted intense publicscrutiny and highlighted salient gaps in supervision and crisis management frameworks.The authorities are rightly seizing the momentum to push for bold reforms, most ofwhich will require parliamentary approval. Findings:Switzerland’s private sector leverage ranks among the highest globally andlarge real estate exposures pose systemic risks. Stress tests for banks and insurersindicate broad resilience to severe solvency and liquidity shocks. Housing-related risksare rising, while the sole dedicated macroprudential tool nears its effectiveness limit.Gaps in legal powers for early intervention and enforcement, resource constraints, andreliance on external auditors hinder effective supervision. Switzerland has strengthenedthe oversight frameworks for cyber risk, securities, insurance, and fintech andimplemented the final Basel III rules in a timely manner. Policies:Once implemented, the authorities’ proposed reforms are expected tostrengthen the Swiss Too-Big-To-Fail (TBTF) framework, bank governance, and crisisprevention and preparedness. To bolster supervisory effectiveness, the Swiss FinancialMarket Supervisory Authority (FINMA) needs enhanced legal powers, increasedresources, and a more direct and intrusive approach. Heightened vigilance is needed inthe areas of governance, risk management, market conduct, anti-moneylaundering/combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT), and cyber risk, togetherwith maintaining strong capital and liquidity buffers. To address rising systemic risks,new capital and borrower-based measures should be considered. Recovery andresolution planning should be further extended to designated insurance groups,financial market infrastructures (FMIs), and proportionately to non-systemic banks.Reforms should include upgrading resolution tools, operationalizing the recentlyexpanded emergency liquidity assistance (ELA) framework, establishing a PublicLiquidity Backstop (PLB), and reforming deposit insurance.
