UBS reports huge Q2 profit skewed by takeover, foresees $10 bn in cost cuts

Swiss bank UBS announced Thursday plans to save USD 10 billion in costs as it moves ahead with full integration of longtime rival Credit Suisse's domestic operations, as UBS released its first earnings report since the government-orchestrated merger to help stave off a possible global financial meltdown. The announcement came as the Zurich-based bank reported a whopping USD 29 billion in pre-tax profit in the second quarter.

UBS brings back Sergio Ermotti as CEO with Credit Suisse deal ahead

UBS said Wednesday that it's bringing back former CEO Sergio Ermotti to lead the Swiss bank as it moves forward with a government-orchestrated plan to take over struggling rival Credit Suisse. Ermotti, who was the bank's top executive for nine years and led a turnaround following the 2008 global financial crisis, will take over next Wednesday from CEO Ralph Hamers.
