The review of the Credit Suisse crisis showed that the too big to fail regime needs to be improved in order to reduce risks for the state, taxpayers and the economy. For this reason, during its meeting on 6 June 2025 the Federal Council determined the parameters for the corresponding amendments to acts and ordinances, which will be submitted for consultation in stages from this autumn onwards. These include stricter capital requirements for systemically important banks with foreign subsidiaries, additional requirements on the recovery and resolution of systemically important banks, the introduction of a senior managers regime for banks and additional powers for the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). The Federal Council also opened a consultation process for those measures that are to be implemented directly at ordinance level.The review of the Credit Suisse crisis showed that the too big to fail regime needs to be improved in order to reduce risks for the state, taxpayers and the economy.
