What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The UK government is attempting to persuade UBS to shift its headquarters and stock market listing to London if the bank relocates from Switzerland due to strict new capital rules. Former UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves pitched the City of London as a potential new home for UBS during discussions with the bank’s chair. UBS, which is valued at CHF129 billion ($157 billion), already employs about 8,000 people in the UK.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The discussions illustrate how foreign governments are attempting to court Switzerland’s largest bank amid regulatory reforms in its home market. A move by UBS to London would be a major financial event for the UK, given the bank's valuation and existing presence.
