After the Council of States, the National Council also adopts all banking PUK proposals

In addition, like the Council of States a week ago, the National Council also adopted all the motions submitted by the PUK and referred them to the Federal Council. These are four motions and six postulates. The PUK wants to use them to ensure that Switzerland learns the lessons from the CS collapse.

In the four motions, the PUK demands, for example, that the capital and liquidity requirements for systemically important banks be eased, and it wants to strengthen the enforcement power of the financial market supervisory authority Finma with regard to systemically important companies.

The implementation of motions is binding for the national government if both chambers of parliament agree. This is now the case for these four motions. The Federal Council requested the approval of three motions and the rejection of one.
