UBS to Regulators: We Don't Need Extra Capital
UBS Chairman Colm Kelleher criticized Switzerland’s plans to increase the bank’s loss buffers, saying “additional capital is the wrong remedy” to prevent another bank collapse. UBS took over its hobbled rival Credit Suisse last year in a government engineered rescue. Credit Suisse for years before failing insisted it had enough capital, and sometimes publicly battled regulators who said it needed more.
