瑞士一个有影响力的委员会的议员表示，他们将于下个月处理瑞银集团的资本要求问题，为该国最大银行在这一事项上设定了下一个关键时间点。
Swiss lawmakers in an influential committee said that they will tackle the question of UBS Group AG’s capital requirements next month, setting up the next key date on the matter for the nation’s largest bank.
据周三的一份声明，国民院（下议院）经济与税务委员会打算按计划在11月23日和24日的会议上，对关于外国分支机构资本支撑的提案进行详细审议。
The lower house’s Economic Affairs and Taxation Committee intends to conduct its detailed deliberations on the proposal on capital backing of foreign units as planned at its meeting on November 23 and 24, according to a statement on Wednesday.
瑞银首席执行官塞尔吉奥·埃尔莫蒂，在副主席马克吕斯·罗纳陪同下，也于周一在一次闭门听证会上向该委员会发言，显示出该行持续努力说服议员削弱该项监管规定。
UBS Chief Executive Officer Sergio Ermotti, accompanied by UBS’s Vice Chairman Markus Ronner, also spoke to the committee at a closed-door hearing on Monday in a sign of continuing efforts by the bank to persuade lawmakers to water down the regulation.
自三年多前瑞信倒闭以来，瑞士政府一直在寻求方法，使其唯一剩下的全球性银行能够抵御危机。其改革议程的一个关键支柱是提高权益资本要求，旨在确保瑞银的海外业务不会拖垮其国内实体。瑞银称，该改革将使其失去竞争力。
Since the collapse of Credit Suisse more than three years ago, the Swiss government has been seeking ways to make its lone remaining global bank crisis-proof. A key plank of its reform agenda is the increase in equity capital requirements, intended to make sure that UBS’s foreign businesses can’t sink its domestic entity. UBS says the reform will make it uncompetitive.
“系统重要性银行的外国参股资本支撑需要加强，且需要采取行动，这是无可争议的，”该委员会在声明中说。
“It is uncontested that there’s a need for action and that the capital backing of the foreign participations of systemically-relevant banks needs to be strengthened,” the committee said in a statement.
上个月，联邦院（上议院）支持了一项大体与财政部长卡琳·凯勒-祖特在过去两年争取的方案一致的计划：强制该国最大银行大幅增加其在国内持有的权益资本数额。
Last month the upper house of parliament, or Council of States, backed a plan that broadly aligns with what Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter has fought for over the past two years: forcing the nation’s largest bank to substantially increase the amount of equity capital it holds at home.
如果国民院通过与联邦院相同的提案，该提案将成为法律。但如果国民院投票支持其他方案，该事项将在两院之间来回协商，进一步延长时间表。
If the chamber adopts the same proposal as the upper house, it will become law. If the lower house votes for something else, however, the matter would go back and forth between them, extending the timeline further.
瑞银表示，资本改革将转化为约 160 亿美元的额外核心一级资本（CET1）要求，并使其在与全球同业的竞争中处于劣势。该行严厉批评上议院的决定，并誓言将继续反对这项拟议措施。
UBS says the capital reform would translate into an extra requirement of some $16 billion in CET1 capital and render it uncompetitive against global peers. The firm heavily criticized the decision by the upper house and pledged to continue its fight against the planned measure.
随着即将到来的资本改革拖累该行股价，瑞银是否可能离开瑞士的问题被提了出来——部分股东甚至在敦促这一举动——即使此举可能严重侵蚀建立在其瑞士身份之上的商业模式。
With the looming capital reform weighing on the bank’s share price, the question of whether UBS could leave Switzerland has been raised - urged on by some shareholders - even if the move could severely erode a business model built on its Swiss identity.
