FINMA says its current enforcement toolkit is still too limited because it cannot generally impose administrative fines and can only publicly identify individual enforcement cases in narrow circumstances. The publication matters because it reinforces the direction of Swiss reform debate after Credit Suisse: more individual accountability, more deterrence, and more transparency in enforcement outcomes.
The immediate legal position is unchanged, but the supervisory direction is clear: FINMA is pushing for a more punitive, more personal, and more transparent enforcement framework. Firms that fail to strengthen governance, documentation, and remediation discipline face higher exposure to enforcement action, reputational harm, and future individual accountability measures once reforms are adopted.
