Since publication of the last Financial Stability Report in June 2025, economic and financial conditions relevant for the Swiss financial sector have remained challenging, in particular because of the conflict in the Middle East, trade tensions, and the associated geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. Thanks to substantial capital buffers, the Swiss banking sector is well placed to face this challenging environment.

Long‑term interest rates have increased against the backdrop of renewed inflationary pressure, due to the recent surge in energy prices, and high public debt in many advanced economies.

In financial markets, the conflict in the Middle East has led to higher volatility, yet the overall reaction has been muted. Global stock prices temporarily declined but remain above the levels at the time of publication of the last Financial Stability Report. Furthermore, global corporate and sovereign credit risk premia temporarily increased to a moderate degree but remain at low levels.
