The Swiss National Bank is reforming how it provides liquidity to banks under stress, responding to criticism of its existing framework that followed the Credit Suisse crisis.
Switzerland's central bank will enable lenders to draw a pre-set amount of money from the new Extended Liquidity Facility without having to confirm that they have already exhausted market funding or that they are solvent, Vice President Antoine Martin said in a speech on Tuesday.

UBS and Pictet data leak after Chain IQ cyber attack
Swiss banks UBS and Pictet have confirmed a data leak resulting from a cyber attack on their subcontractor, Chain IQ, in Switzerland. According to a report by Reuters, citing Swiss newspaper Le Temps, files containing personal data of tens of thousands of UBS employees were stolen in the data breach. Separately, SWI part of the Swiss Broadcasting Corporation, reported that at Pictet, the cyber attack led to the theft of tens of thousands of supplier invoices dating back several years. Chain IQ revealed that it, along with 19 other companies, was targeted in the attack, which resulted in a data leak published on the darknet. The company stated that it has taken steps to contain the situation and is unable to provide details on ransom demands or interactions with the attackers due to security and investigative reasons. Chain IQ first communicated the breach on 13 June. The company, based in Baar, has subsidiaries in New York, London, Singapore, Mumbai, and Bucharest. 'A cyber-attack at an external supplier has led to information about UBS and several other companies being stolen. No client data has been affected,' UBS was quoted by Reuters as saying. 'As soon as UBS became aware of the incident, it took swift and decisive action to avoid any impact on its operations.' UBS is currently facing additional challenges. The Swiss government recently proposed new capital norms requiring UBS to increase its core capital by $26bn following its acquisition of Credit Suisse. This proposal aims to enhance financial stability and prevent future banking crises, mandating UBS to fully capitalise its foreign subsidiaries. UBS has been given a timeframe of six to eight years to comply once the legislation is enacted. Meanwhile, Pictet Bank is dealing with another issue. Switzerland's Office of the Attorney General imposed a fine on Pictet for organisational shortcomings that facilitated money laundering.

Forget chocolate! The world now envies Switzerland's zero interest rates
[Source Photo: Freepik ] BY Listen to this Article More info 0:00 / 2:17 The world envies Swiss chocolate, army knives, and now . . . interest rates? Swiss National Bank, Switzerland's central bank, moved interest rates to zero this week, a reduction of 25 basis points, and a notable detraction from other central banks around the world, such as the Federal Reserve in the U.S. and the Bank of England in the U.K. In a statement, the Swiss National Bank said that the move was made in relation to declining inflation worries—and that it's expecting the economies to buckle under the volatility created, in part, due to the Trump administration's trade policies. 'With today's easing of monetary policy, the SNB is countering the lower inflationary pressure. The SNB will continue to monitor the situation closely and adjust its monetary policy if necessary, to ensure that inflation remains within the range consistent with price stability over the medium term,' the statement read. 'The global economic outlook for the coming quarters has deteriorated due to the increase in trade tensions. In its baseline scenario, the SNB anticipates that growth in the global economy will weaken over the coming quarters. Inflation in the U.S. is likely to rise over the coming quarters. In Europe, by contrast, a further decrease in inflationary pressure is to be expected.' Meanwhile, in the U.S., the Federal Reserve's latest meeting wrapped up this week with no change in interest rates, despite pressure from the White House and others to lower them. Fed Chair Jerome Powell and other Fed governors have been reluctant to do so, as inflation data has still not gotten close enough to its 2% target, and employment data has remained positive. Across the Atlantic, however, another European country, Norway, also cut rates this week. And some experts think that the Swiss could go even further, instituting negative interest rates at some point this year. 'There are risks that the SNB will go further in the future if inflationary pressures don't start to increase, and the lowest the policy rate could go is -0.75%, the rate it reached in the 2010s,' Swiss National Bank's Chairman Martin Schlegel told CNBC on Thursday. 'But what I can say is that going negative, we would not take this decision lightly.' The final deadline for Fast Company's Next Big Things in Tech Awards is Friday, June 20, at 11:59 p.m. PT.

SNB Introduces Stealth Negative Rate to Protect Money Market
(Bloomberg) -- The Swiss National Bank may have cut its interest rate to zero, but the way it penalizes banks' excess reserve holdings means lenders will face negative rates if they park too much cash at the central bank. Security Concerns Hit Some of the World's 'Most Livable Cities' JFK AirTrain Cuts Fares 50% This Summer to Lure Riders Off Roads Taser-Maker Axon Triggers a NIMBY Backlash in its Hometown How E-Scooters Conquered (Most of) Europe NYC Congestion Toll Cuts Manhattan Gridlock by 25%, RPA Reports Swiss banks can hold up to an unchanged 18 times their minimum reserve requirement in sight deposits at the SNB for free. For anything over that they will be charged interest of -0.25% as the discount from the policy rate remains unchanged at 25 basis points, the institution said in a statement on Thursday. The goal behind the 'tiered remuneration' is to incentivize lending between banks so that enough liquidity is exchanged on the Swiss money market. For lenders holding more than their limit it's cheaper to pass on excess reserves to institutions which are under their thresholds, because they have to pay them less than the central bank. For all lenders which don't have a minimum reserve requirement the threshold is set at 10 million francs ($12 million) in sight deposits, the SNB said. The system, which the SNB has had in place since it lifted its key rate above zero in 2022, means that the average money-market rate — known as Saron — has usually been a few basis points below the central-bank rate. From Friday on, negative funding costs for banks are therefore likely, as board member Petra Tschudin told reporters in Zurich. She added that she expects only 'very little' sight deposits to be remunerated at the negative rate. That chimes with experience from some three years under the regime, where typically only a tiny fraction of them were hit by the lower rate. Switzerland's main banks lobby called the SNB's decision 'understandable,' but criticized its consequences. 'It's clear that a zero interest rate environment diminishes the incentive for responsible saving and places additional pressure on retirement provision,' the Swiss Bankers Association said in a statement. 'As in previous periods of low interest rates, banks and their customers once again bear a significant share of the monetary policy burden.' Similarly, the insurance association welcomed the SNB not going negative, but stressed that 'even the return to a low interest rate environment already poses a challenge' to the sector. SNB President Martin Schlegel acknowledged the discomfort the new rate environment creates for banks and signaled that there's an elevated bar for further cuts. 'We would not take the decision to go negative lightly,' he said. 'But I want to stress that the profitability of banks is not within the national bank's objectives.' Given the small share of deposits affected, it's unlikely that the SNB will make a lot of money from charging lenders. Between 2015 and 2022, the central bank earned almost 12 billion francs from negative rates, though it then paid out 14.5 billion francs from when rates turned positive through the end of March of this year. --With assistance from Paula Doenecke, Jan-Henrik Förster, Levin Stamm and Noele Illien.
