Senior Swiss and Liechtenstein bankers defended their countries’ banking secrecy laws, in declarations to a private wealth management seminar held in Vaduz.

Hasler reiterated his belief that an increase in tax cooperation is possible while at the same time preserving banking secrecy. Such cooperation was imperative, he added, noting that a fraud agreement has already been formalised with the EU.
