ZURICH, July 30 (Reuters) - UBS will not act in
advance of Swiss government proposals designed to raise capital
levels to make the bank more resilient, Chief Executive Sergio
Ermotti said on Wednesday.
He said it was also premature to talk about what mitigation
measures the bank would take before knowing the final rules.
"We are not going to front-run any new capital regime,
that's clear," Ermotti told analysts after UBS reported
second-quarter earnings. "We will wait and see exactly what it
is, and then take the appropriate time to phase in whatever will
be phased in."
