Swiss banking regulators are requiring UBS to make its investment banking unit a separate legal entity with its headquarters in another country. This is an effort to ring fence the investment banking operation so that the Swiss government does not have to come up with funds to recapitalize the Swiss bank in another financial crisis. Credit Suisse and UBS have combined assets larger than the GDP of Switzerland. Under the new structure the investment banking unit would have its own capital and be overseen by local regulators. It is still not clear if the local regulators would not demand that the Swiss government come in and cover future losses at the investment bank.
