UBS backed targeted, internationally aligned changes to Swiss banking rules, including closer alignment of AT1 instruments with global practice.
It warned WAK-S recommendations would materially raise costs, tightening already stringent Swiss capital requirements amid global deregulation elsewhere.
Proposals would lift backing for foreign-subsidiary investments to 50% CET1 and up to 50% AT1, from 45% CET1 and 15% AT1.
UBS estimated about USD 13 billion of incremental Tier 1 capital at UBS AG, on top of USD 2 billion from earlier ordinance changes.
Total incremental Tier 1 since the Credit Suisse acquisition seen at about USD 30 billion; ordinance changes expected to remove USD 4 billion CET1 at group level.
