Surprising resignation: Finma manager Urban Angehrn is leaving the company at the end of the month for health reasons. (archive image)

On an interim basis, his deputy Birgit Rutishauser will take over the business from 1 October, the Financial Markets Authority said on Wednesday. The Board of Directors initiated the process for change. After the takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS, Rutishauser will also be present in Angehrn for a regular handover and follow-up.

Angehrn took over the role of director of the supervisory authority in November 2021. He and his team, in close coordination with the Ministry of Finance and the Swiss National Bank (SNB), played a key role in overcoming the crisis surrounding Credit Suisse – the biggest challenge in Finma’s history, they say.

Criticism of Finma after CS’ collapse

Angehrn could be quoted as saying that “high and persistent exposure” has health consequences. “I thought carefully about my decision and now I’ve decided to resign.”

Finma has faced constant criticism, including numerous complaints at Credit Suisse that recently led to the collapse of the traditional bank. (SDA)
