In this episode of The McKay Interview, host Michael McKay sits down with Frédéric Lelièvre, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of L’Agefi, the leading financial newspaper in French-speaking Switzerland. Speaking from Lausanne, they explore the evolving landscape of Swiss banking — from overregulation to global competitiveness, from Credit Suisse's collapse to Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Drawing on Frédéric’s decades of financial journalism, the conversation tackles key issues including:
The fall of Credit Suisse: mismanagement, weak oversight, and missed signals
Can we still trust Swiss banks — or is overregulation part of the problem?
Basel III: what it means, why it matters, and whether Switzerland is too compliant
The Swiss National Bank's performance: monetary stability vs. crisis response
Neutrality and sanctions: how the Ukraine war shook Switzerland’s financial identity
The risks of deglobalization and Trump-era tariffs for small, export-driven economies
The future of Switzerland as a global wealth management hub: what’s at stake?
This thoughtful and richly detailed interview is essential listening for anyone interested in Swiss finance, global economics, and how national banking systems are navigating a new era of uncertainty and geopolitical tension.
