Carine Rielle X Philipp Fischer
How dangerous can regulations be?
The regulation expert Philipp Fischer talks about past crises in the banking sector, future challenges related to regulations as well as the core strengths of the Swiss financial center.
For nearly 20 years, Philipp Fischer has been deal-ing with the topic of regulation. In the conversation, he emphasizes what makes the Swiss financial center particularly strong besides stability: the heterogeneity of companies. But what happens if stricter regulations endanger this diversity, hinder innovation, and affect competitiveness? And what lessons can be drawn from foreign experiences? Philipp Fischer provides an exciting insight into a highly topical issue.
