Ticino is currently of the Corona-crisis as strongly affected as no other Canton. The most powerful of Ticino’s economy is the captain of UBS CEO Sergio Ermotti. The Situation affected him deeply, he says, as a GLANCE reached him at his home in Montagnola, near Lugano, TI on the phone. “I hear of the difficult Situation in the hospitals, and of people who have lost family members. The Situation is dramatic!”
Therefore, he had decided to donate a Million francs for Corona victims, he confirms the Information from the VIEW. He had paid the money in the Ermotti family Foundation. This he founded in 2011 along with his wife, his sister and his brother. It supports social projects, usually in the poorest of the poor countries in total, with amounts in millions. But this Time the money will flow to Switzerland, to Ticino.
“A personal decision”
To for now, any donations that you can afford? “Everyone should, at least, the question of whether he can help,” says Ermotti. “A lot of people have no money, and do still a lot. For me, it was a very personal decision that I want to help to reduce blows of fate.”
To write to people in Need directly Ermotti, a E-Mail? “Better not,” he says, “we will make a professional relief organizations to people in Distress find help and support.”
Not only private man Ermotti donates, but also the CEO Ermotti, on behalf of the UBS: The Bank provides a Fund with 30 millions of francs for Corona victims in Switzerland and worldwide. An internal working group is examining projects and requests from families who can no longer pay the studies of their children, because the father or mother died on the Corona.
The Fund is designed for the long term. Because Ermotti expects us to deal with the crisis for a long time – “everything else is a desire, unfortunately, think”. If the people have fear about your health and your life, then you spend no money. The Situation could normalize, presumably, only be complete, if a vaccine is found. “2020 will be a very difficult year. We are at best a L experience: a steep decline and then stability.”
“The aid package is the right one, Chapeau!”
Sergio Ermotti takes the largest Bank in the country since 2011 and also the highest paid Bank boss (remuneration 2019: 12.5 million franc) is up to date. At the end of October is the end, next year he is Chairman of the Board of Swiss Re. However, until in the autumn of turbulent months ahead for him.

Ermotti is closely involved and praises the quick response of the Federal Council: “This aid package was straightforward and correctly, Chapeau!”
With the settlement of the lending banks of the company are entrusted. “Within 36 hours we received 10 000 applications. By Sunday night, all were processed, and around one billion Swiss francs approved”, tells Ermotti without Pride.
Can improve the big banks just because of their Image and show that they are for the Little people? “We were always for the Little ones there!” Ermotti says determined. “The big banks play an important role for Switzerland and for a successful economy. Now we can prove that point.”
, if Any, gains in auxiliary Fund
it is important to emphasise that his Bank won’t make a Swiss francs to the rescue operation and also no liquidity benefits. “Each any profits will be paid into a relief Fund.”
And, in allusion to the financial crisis of 2008, when UBS had to be rescued by the state, says Ermotti said, “Now we are part of the solution and not part of the problem.”
