Following the acquisition of Credit Suisse, the Swiss government initiated a banking overhaul in response to the integration of the two institutions. The Swiss parliament has proposed new regulations for UBS, including stricter rules on executive bonuses to promote long-term sustainable performance. The government also seeks to require UBS to hold about $20 billion in additional Common Equity Tier 1 capital to back its foreign subsidiaries.
