Carolin Roth X Roman Studer
The circulatory system of the economy
Roman Studer on money, the importance of the Swiss banking centre, and why good regulation is an art, not a science.
As CEO of the Swiss Bankers Association, Roman Studer is constantly dealing with the regulatory challenges facing the banks and our financial centre. It’s a topic he’s been interested in since his student days. In the podcast, he reveals what fascinates him about it, and why good rules are vital to a stable banking sector and thus to Switzerland’s prosperity. He offers an insight into his daily work as CEO, and explains why “Swiss banking” remains such a strong brand around the world.
The podcasts are available — by episodes — in German or French.
