The two big banks – UBS and Credit Suisse – account
for two-thirds of total assets, which is roughly four times
Swiss GDP. Compared with the other G10 countries, the
ratio of the two biggest banks’ assets to GDP is highest in
Switzerland (cf. table B1). With respect to domestic busi-
ness, however, the domestically focused banks are gaining
in importance.
Cantonal, Raiffeisen, regional and other banks play
an important role in domestic lending and deposit business.
Their aggregate share of the domestic lending market
amounts to 62%. For domestic deposit business, their mar-
ket share is over 74% (cf. table B2)
