Key metrics for supervised banks and securities firms
Banks and account-holding securities firms are required to inform the public about their risk profiles and, in particular, capital bases.
FINMA annually publishes a selection of regulatory key metrics for banks and securities firms as a means of heightening transparency and enabling comparisons. As its basis, it uses the publicly available figures and information that banks in Switzerland are required to publish within four months of their financial year (i.e. generally by the 30 April) under the terms of FINMA Circular 2016/1 "Disclosure - banks". Institutions participating in the small banks regime are partially exempt from these disclosure requirements.
