Abstract Text The COVID-19 crisis had a significant impact on the Swiss banking sector, espe-cially on small and medium-sized banks, but the Swiss federal council undertook several policy measures against it. The results of this master thesis provide meaningful insights on the regulatory Basel III framework that aims to prevent such crises. Therefore, Wolf-ram Mathematica and Excel were chosen as statistical tools to assess how the Swiss bank-ing sector evolved and how it was affected by the policy measures during this liquidity crunch. Moreover, liquidity and capital requirements and balance sheet data were ana-lysed providing empirical evidence for the Swiss economic environment. Keywords:
