瑞士财政部长卡琳·凯勒-苏特淡化了瑞银集团可能为规避瑞士更严格的资本规则而离开瑞士的说法，她表示此举的成本将高于留在瑞士。
By Dylan Griffiths Swiss Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter downplayed a suggestion that UBS Group AG could quit Switzerland to avoid stricter capital rules there, saying such a move would be more expensive than to stay.
凯勒-苏特在接受《瑞士周末报》（Schweiz am Wochenende）采访时被问及是否希望将瑞银赶出瑞士，她回应称：“离开瑞士将昂贵得多，且法律程序更为复杂。”该报周六引述她的话说：“瑞银也将不再是一家瑞士银行。然而，其商业模式建立在瑞士、瑞士特色、法治以及政治稳定之上。”
“Leaving Switzerland would be far more expensive and legally complex,” Keller-Sutter said in an interview with Schweiz am Wochenende, when asked if she wanted to drive UBS out of Switzerland. “It would also cease to be a Swiss bank. Its business model, however, is based on Switzerland, on Swissness, on the rule of law, and on political stability,” the newspaper cited her as saying on Saturday.
此前，瑞士议会参议院多数议员本周早些时候投票支持了一项计划，该计划将强制瑞银——该国最大的贷款机构——为其海外子公司持有更多的股权资本。瑞银估计，这将需要其额外持有160亿美元的普通股一级资本（CET1）。
Her comments follow a vote earlier this week by a majority of the upper house of Switzerland’s parliament endorsing a plan that would force UBS — the country’s largest lender — to hold more equity capital to back its foreign subsidiaries. The firm has estimated that this would require it to hold an extra $16 billion in CET1 capital.
瑞银认为，这项资本改革将使其在全球同行中失去竞争力，并承诺将继续反对这一拟议措施。
UBS argues the capital reform would render it uncompetitive against global peers and pledged to press on with its fight against the planned measure.
据Semafor周四报道，瑞银已重新就如何将银行置于瑞士监管机构管辖范围之外展开讨论，包括通过与外国银行合并等方式，但该报道未提供有关潜在谈判的更多细节。
The bank has revived discussions about ways to move the bank out from under Swiss regulators, including through a combination with a foreign bank, according to a report on Thursday from Semafor, which didn’t provide further details on potential talks.
该事项目前将移交至瑞士国民院（下议院），最终结果可能要到明年一段时间后才能揭晓。
The matter will now move to the Swiss lower house and a final outcome is unlikely to be known before some time next year.
凯勒-苏特告诉《瑞士周末报》：“瑞银当然不必离开瑞士。许多分析师和专家一致认为，这些要求是合理的，且瑞银可以轻松应对。”她补充道：“中东冲突期间私人银行所经历的资本流入，清楚地表明了对瑞士作为商业地点的信心。”
“UBS certainly doesn’t have to leave Switzerland. Many analysts and specialists agree that the requirements are reasonable and easily manageable for UBS,” Keller-Sutter told Schweiz am Wochenende. “The capital inflows experienced by private banks during the conflicts in the Middle East clearly demonstrate the confidence in Switzerland as a business location,” she added.
