I have the feeling that UBS management is putting the bank at risk. The education system in Switzerland is very different when comparing the Gymnasium Matura and the Berufsmatura, with the first being much more demanding than the second. Why do Swiss people not seem to value education enough? Is there really no one who graduated from ETH or another elite university who could take responsibility for fixing the bank?

Why do so many Swiss people not strive for elite education? I will never understand.

"The Bank needs to stay profitable" This is it huh. Real genius we got here. All I hear is we need to take more money from people to remain profitable.

We need tough guardrails for banks in Switzerland. The population is sick and tired of bailing out casino banksters.

Grow the business by restructuring... seems to be the only idea of this man... CANNOT wait to automate the CEOs and every bit of the directors :face-blue-smiling:

Like a colonel in the battle, the cool and collected Mr Ermotti kept his calm and steered the ship towards stable waters. Quite impressive, and rare nowadays.

Dear FT, The Interviewer made, in my view, too many unnecessary interruptions. It was painful to watch. Very bad interview.

Greece introduced lowering taxes depending on the number of kids you have -odr?

“I don’t see why you should impose a speed limit to all drivers because one driver who was authorized to go over the limit was going well over the speed limit.” That doesn’t feel like a very well thought out analogy if you’re trying to argue that the regulation is not necessary.

I was quite excited to tune in for this interview but the incessant interruption was painful to watch. "Let's talk avout you" he proceeds to do so and she cuts him off. And then that set the tone of the entire video.

Sergio is so polite for being interrupted all the time and still trying to fully answer the questions
