"In respect of the Ukraine war, we can summarise by saying that this conflict poses numerous risks for the Swiss financial sector and accentuated risks for individual institutions," FINMA Chief Executive Urban Angehrn said in remarks prepared for the watchdog's annual media conference, his first since assuming the role. "Overall the risks to the financial centre from first round effects are manageable. We are continuing to monitor the situation to see whether the war has further, indirect effects on the financial markets."
