"Too big to fail" commission of experts

The Commission of Experts appointed by the Federal Council is submitting a
package of measures for the limitation of "too big to fail" risks posed by banks
that are systemically important to the Swiss economy. At the heart of these
unanimously agreed recommendations lie intensified capital requirements
backed up by new capital instruments, as well as organisational measures to
ensure the maintenance of essential services in payment transactions, the
deposit business and lending business in the event of a crisis. These
measures are supplemented by more rigorous liquidity requirements as well as
a limitation of interconnectedness and cluster risks in the financial sector.
