On 1st January 2018, Alexandre Zeller, Chairman of the Board of Credit Suisse Group for Switzerland, took over from Alexis Lautenberg, former Swiss Ambassador, as chairman of the Swiss Finance Council. The Chairmanship has a one-year term and will be rotating on an annual basis between members, starting with Credit Suisse.

SFC Chairman Mr Zeller said:

“It is an honour for me to take over this responsibility and to represent the Swiss Finance Council. As an industry, we face many challenges, in particular regulation. As a community we must focus on making sure that regulation delivers efficient outcomes, a level playing field and excellent services for our customers. Our role as SFC is to encourage cooperation and foster regulatory dialogues across borders. I look forward to working with our international partners in that context.

“Alexis Lautenberg was instrumental in setting up the Swiss Finance Council in 2013 and was its Chairman until the end of 2017. We would like to thank Alexis for his great contribution and his much valued expertise during this crucial period. We are delighted to be able to benefit from his insights as he has accepted to continue to serve the SFC Board as a Special Advisor.”
