Private credit funds raised $129.15 billion during the first nine months of 2026, a 35% increase from the previous year and the highest nine-month total in data dating back to 2016. However, direct-lending volumes fell 28% year-on-year in the third quarter to $49.77 billion, leaving lenders with more capital than attractive investment opportunities. The imbalance is intensifying competition among lenders as some borrowers return to the syndicated loan market for cheaper financing. Fund managers now face pressure to deploy their capital without compromising lending standards or accepting unfavourable deal terms.

UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti has criticised a proposal requiring the bank to back its foreign units with 90% Common Equity Tier 1 capital, saying it offers little meaningful compromise compared with the original 100% requirement. Ermotti supports an alternative proposal allowing a combination of 50% CET1 and 50% Additional Tier 1 capital. The debate comes as Switzerland considers tougher banking rules following the 2023 collapse of Credit Suisse.

The European Central Bank and other EU central banks are opposing a proposed rule that would require stablecoin issuers to hold 60% of their reserves as bank deposits. They warn the requirement could increase deposit volatility and expose banks to risks from the rapidly growing stablecoin market. The central banks have instead proposed holding token reserves in short-term assets that mature within one to five working days. They also raised concerns about difficulties in enforcing EU crypto rules against non-compliant firms serving European customers.

In a blow to the government, which had demanded 100% CET1 backing, Swiss lawmakers stated that UBS should support its overseas subsidiaries with 50% of Common Equity Tier 1 capital, the best type of bank capital. The upper house of parliament's economic affairs and taxation committee, which is investigating banking regulations in the wake of Credit Suisse's collapse, stated that UBS should be permitted to use less expensive Additional Tier 1 capital to make up the remaining 50% to achieve full capitalization of its units abroad.
