Prof. Kern Alexander kritisiert die Schweizer Bankenrettung der Credit Suisse und schreibt sie der schwachen FINMA-Regulierung zu

Credit Suisse Collapse, And Switzerland Went Back to Making Money

“The regulatory culture in Switzerland is weak and not based on a meaningful set of rules,” says Kern Alexander, chair of the law and finance program at the University of Zurich, “but instead on a light touch principles regime that leaves the regulator too much discretion not to take action and to allow problems to fester until they reach a breaking point.”
