Switzerland's FINMA says its stress tests more stringent than current market events

BERN (Reuters) - FINMA's stress tests are more stringent than current market turbulences, the Swiss financial market regulator's CEO Stefan Walter said on Tuesday, reacting to a question about turmoil in the wake of trade tariffs imposed by the United States.

FINMA was closely following market developments and maintained contacts with the institutes it supervises, Walter added.
