Swiss regulator says UBS emergency plan still needs work

FINMA said more than one-third of its on-site bank inspections last year were conducted at UBS, and that the lender's crisis emergency plan still needs work. The comments signal continued regulatory scrutiny of UBS's risk controls and resolution preparedness. The tone is cautious and modestly negative for UBS, though the immediate market impact is likely limited.
