UBS GROUP AG-REG chairman Colm Kelleher warned Thursday that the lender could reconsider its domicile in Switzerland if new capital rules impair its global competitiveness. The warning follows a parliamentary debate over tighter regulations stemming from the 2023 collapse of Credit Suisse. The stricter framework could force UBS to hold billions in additional reserves.
