SF Arena – Overcoming Switzerland’s Leadership and Financial Crisis
In this 2009 broadcast, former Swiss ambassador and ex–Swiss–World War II Task Force head Thomas Borer joins a panel with Roger Köppel and Jean Ziegler to debate Switzerland’s leadership crisis amid financial turmoil. With the UBS leadership change, banking secrecy under threat, and the financial centre in difficulty, Borer addresses how Switzerland can regain direction and credibility. He discusses the country’s weak networking within the EU and at G20 summits, and paths for diplomatic engagement and strategic positioning to overcome its isolation and restore confidence in its financial sector.
