Published: 19 May 2014

Das Lehrbuch führt in die ökonomischen und soziologischen Theorien des Finanzmarkts ein und enthält eine systematische Darstellung des Finanzmarktrechts. Es legt das Schwergewicht nicht auf eine branchen-, sondern prinzipiengeleitete Darstellung nach Rechtsgebieten: Rahmenregulierung der Geld- und Währungspolitik, Aufsichtsrecht, regulierte Selbstregulierung, privatrechtliches Regulierungsrecht, Missbrauchsbekämpfung. Die Kapitel werden durch Repetitionsfragen, Fälle und eine umfassende Literaturübersicht ergänzt.

Das Werk eignet sich als Begleitmedium zum Unterricht wie zum Selbststudium und richtet sich an Studierende von Fachhochschulen und Universitäten, sowohl im Grundstudium als auch in der Weiterbildung.

Swiss sanctions against Russia – Further alignment with the EU –…

<p>In a continued effort to align with European Union ("<strong>EU</strong>") sanctions, on 25 February 2026, the Swiss Federal Council adopted additional measures transposing core elements of the EU's 19th sanctions package (adopted at EU level on 23 October 2025). The Swiss amendments entered into force on 26 February 2026, with certain measures phased in later in spring 2026.</p> <p>The revision notably (i) introduces a new crypto-asset transaction prohibition tied to a dedicated annex, (ii) adds a new sanctions pillar targeting Russian special economic, innovation and preferential zones, and (iii) expands the catalogue of prohibited services and enabling technologies (including AI-model access, high-performance computing and quantum computing).</p>

MBaer Merchant Bank AG: FinCEN Section 311 action and FINMA liquidation –…

<p>In February 2026, U.S. and Swiss authorities took consecutive measures affecting MBaer Merchant Bank AG, a Zurich-based bank. The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network issued a notice under Section 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act proposing special measure five, which, if adopted, would have effectively severed MBaer's access to the U.S. financial system via correspondent and payable-through restrictions.</p> <p>In parallel, FINMA announced supervisory measures culminating in the license withdrawal and liquidation of that bank, including procedural developments before the Swiss Federal Administrative Court.</p> <p>Taken together, these developments provide a highly practical case study for Swiss institutions on how AML control and sanctions compliance weaknesses, high-risk client exposure and cross-border market-access dependencies may converge and escalate quickly. The case also illustrates the interplay between foreign regulatory action and Swiss supervisory proceedings.</p>
