瑞银集团(UBS Group AG)的一家国内竞争对手表示,该行离开瑞士将对这个国家造成沉重打击。
The departure of UBS Group AG from Switzerland would be a heavy blow for the country, according to one of its domestic competitors.
“如果他们离开,将是一个重大的改变,”瑞士宝盛集团(Vontobel Holding AG)联席首席执行官克里斯特尔·朗杜·德兰特(Christel Rendu de Lint)在接受彭博电视台采访时表示,并补充称该银行是瑞士经济的重要参与者和就业机会提供者。
“It would be a major change if they went,” Vontobel Holding AG Co-Chief Executive Officer Christel Rendu de Lint said in an interview with Bloomberg TV, adding that the bank is a big actor in the Swiss economy and a provider of jobs.
“我更希望他们留下,因为在这种环境下,金融服务对瑞士经济很重要,”朗杜·德兰特说。“它是瑞士经济的一个品牌,所以失去一个主要品牌就是一种损失,”她补充说。
“I would prefer them to stay because in this environment financial services are important to the Swiss economy,” Rendu de Lint said. “It is a brand for the Swiss economy, so losing a major brand is a loss,” she added.
瑞银正与瑞士政府陷入一场长期争议,瑞士政府希望大幅提高该银行的资本要求,以防止2023年瑞士信贷(Credit Suisse)危机重演。
UBS is in the middle of a long-standing dispute with the Swiss government which wants to sharply raise the bank’s capital requirements to prevent a repeat of the 2023 Credit Suisse crisis.
瑞银正在反对这些拟议中的改革,该行称这些改革将严重损害其商业业务模式并伤害国内经济。此后,这家信贷机构一直在研究所有选项,包括迁移其总部。
UBS is fighting against the proposed reforms which it claims would severely damage its business model and hurt the domestic economy. The lender has since been looking at all options, including the relocation of its headquarters.
在资产和财富管理等业务上与瑞银存在竞争的宝盛集团,目前本身也正在进行搬迁——迁出金融之都苏黎世。今年早些时候,宝盛宣布将其在瑞士的大部分员工以及总部从苏黎世迁至楚格州的一个城镇。
Vontobel, which competes with UBS in businesses including asset and wealth management, itself is in the process of relocating — out of the financial capital Zurich. Earlier this year Vontobel announced that it will move most of its staff in Switzerland and its headquarters from Zurich to a town in the canton of Zug.
