UBS SWISS JOB CUTS COMING LATER IN 2026, CEO SAYS

ZURICH, Feb 4 (Reuters) - The majority of job reductions in UBS' Swiss business will likely be in the second half of 2026, the bank's CEO Sergio Ermotti told reporters on Wednesday.

UBS has previously said it expected to lose around 3,000 jobs in Switzerland as it integrates Credit Suisse.

Speaking after the lender's fourth-quarter results, Ermotti also said that the faster-than-anticipated repatriation of capital from UBS subsidiaries to the parent did not change the overall capital available for the bank, as it prepares for higher capital requirements under Swiss government proposals.
