Swiss upper house backs 90% CET1 capital backing for UBS foreign units

​In ​a blow ‌to UBS, Switzerland's ​upper house of parliament ‌on Wednesday voted in favour of capital rules that ‌would require the bank ‌to back its foreign units with 90% Common Equity Tier ⁠1 ​capital.

Following ⁠the decision in the first ⁠of two chambers, the capital ​rules bill will move ⁠to the lower house of ⁠parliament, with ​a final decision expected at the ⁠end of this year at ⁠the earliest, ⁠and more likely in 2027.
