Financial Centre

Authorities and regulators play a key role in the financial centre. This section outlines who takes charge of the various tasks involved.

It is difficult to imagine a modern economy without a strong financial sector. The financial sector is an essential condition for the efficient and effective operation of economic activities.

The Swiss banks are in good shape and are looking to the future with optimism. Here is where you can find out about the strategic priorities the Swiss financial centre has set out for the next few years.

Stability, universality, responsibility and excellence – these are the four cornerstones of Swiss banking. These values are the foundation of the success of the Swiss financial centre. The Swiss banks will continue to orientate themselves along these values in future, thus contributing to a competitive, diverse banking centre with a high level of performance.
