Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Money has not been flowing out of Swiss banks in a significant way as a result of the government’s decision in March 2009 to ease its strict interpretation of banking secrecy, “There has been no meaningful outflow of assets” from Swiss banks since Switzerland said it would adopt Art. 26 of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) Model Tax Convention, says Pierre Mirabaud, president of the Swiss Bankers Association. The convention obliges Switzerland to renegotiate tax treaties with other countries.
Mirabeau, speaking to the American International Club of Geneva 27 May, said the main factor that will lead to Swiss banks regaining trust is for them to begin to be profitable again. Asset values have dropped across the board because of very poor market conditions since the onset of the crisis late last year, but this has affected all banks.
