UBS Capital Boost From Swiss Reforms Is Feasible, SNB Says

UBS Group AG should be able to meet any new capital requirements arising from the Swiss government’s recent reform proposals without tapping shareholders or unduly curtailing investor payouts, according to the Swiss National Bank.

In its annual financial stability review published Thursday, the central bank said that the measures aimed at strengthening the resilience of the bank to potential losses at its foreign units are “the best solution” to ensuring robust capitalization.
