Swiss National Bank welcomes measures to strengthen too big to fail regulations
The Federal Council proposed measures on 12 August 2026 to address regulatory weaknesses highlighted by the Credit Suisse crisis. The draft Liquidity Ordinance requires systemically important and medium-sized banks to prepare sufficient collateral for accessing central bank liquidity support. Banks must be able to transfer assets as collateral to the Swiss National Bank to ensure liquidity support availability. These measures include provisions for the Extended Liquidity Facility, which becomes available from the beginning of 2027, alongside improvements to recovery planning, resolvability, and early intervention options for systemically important banks.
