Regulation and compliance
Finanzmarktrecht
Die Schweiz überarbeitet ihr Finanzmarktrecht. Dafür hat der Bund ein legislatives Grossprojekt gestartet, das die bisherige Gesetzgebung mehr oder weniger umfassend revidiert.
Regulation
In Switzerland, as in many other countries, the financial sector belongs to the most strictly regulated branches of the national economy. Banking and financial sector regulation plays a correspondingly important role in determining the attractiveness of a location for financial services.
The future of regulation
Switzerland’s international competitiveness as a business location is decreasing. One reason for this is the constant increase in regulatory density, which is placing a growing administrative as well as financial burden on companies.
The fight against money laundering
Switzerland has strict rules aimed to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. It implements the Financial Action Task Force’s international standards.
