Credit Suisse shares fall to record low as top investor rules out more ... (The Guardian)

Credit Suisse shares have plunged more than 20% to record lows after its largest shareholder, Saudi National Bank (SNB), said it would not be able to stump ...

It said it had become frustrated with Credit Suisse’s strategy, which has failed to stem losses and an exodus of clients. “The problems in Credit Suisse once more raise the question whether this is the beginning of a global crisis or just another “idiosyncratic case”, he said. Credit Suisse was widely seen as the weakest link among Europe’s large banks, but it is not the only one to have struggled with weak profitability in recent years. The central bank, which is in charge of monitoring financial stability, referred to its statement released earlier this week, which said: “The wider UK banking system remains safe, sound, and well capitalised.” It also came under fire after the Guardian and other media outlets revealed the bank had been [serving clients involved in torture, drug trafficking](https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/feb/20/credit-suisse-secrets-leak-unmasks-criminals-fraudsters-corrupt-politicians), money laundering, corruption and other serious crimes over decades. The shortfall spooked investors, led to a share sell-off and a run on its deposits, before authorities stepped in last week. Markets are now expecting that central banks including the Bank of England may hold back from raising interest rates further, amid fears that further hikes could increase pressure on investment portfolios. It has since been abandoned by its former top shareholder, Harris Associates, which revealed earlier this year that it had dumped its entire stake amid frustration over Credit Suisse’s strategy and failure to stem losses. The bank, Europe’s 17th largest lender, has been struggling to keep customers after a string of scandals in recent years. The Swiss lender UBS dropped 8.7% and Germany’s Deutsche Bank slipped 9.2%. Credit Suisse shares recovered slightly but still ended the day down by 24.5%. The FTSE 100 was down 3.83%, marking its sharpest one-day drop since Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year.

Credit Suisse: what is happening at Swiss bank and should we be ... (The Guardian)

Plunge in bank's share price adds to fears over weaknesses in banking sector following collapse of SVB.

In an attempt to calm fears, Credit Suisse chair Axel Lehmann said on Wednesday morning that government assistance “isn’t a topic” for the lender, adding: “We have strong capital ratios, a strong balance sheet. Some investors are also worried about potential unrealised losses lurking in the investment portfolios of European banks. However, Credit Suisse’s problems are also relatively unique and not new, with a string of major financial losses and scandals that have worried investors and fuelled a recent client exodus. It was not immediately clear on Wednesday whether client withdrawals had gathered pace as a result of its plunging share price. The Guardian understands that staff at the Bank are continuing to monitor developments in the financial sector closely. Market movements can cause customers to panic and pull cash, creating a run on deposits that is risky for smaller banks that rely more heavily on client cash. However, these living wills have yet to be tested by a real-life banking failure.

That discovery came after queries by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which forced the company to delay publication of its annual report. Given Credit Suisse’s struggles, the danger that it could default drove banks and others that do business with Credit Suisse to buy more swaps to cover their increased risk. These include huge trading losses tied to the implosions of the investment firm Archegos and the lender Greensill Capital. The firm “meets the higher capital and liquidity requirements applicable to systemically important banks” and was not directly at risk from the banking turmoil in the United States, the two said. Shares in Credit Suisse tumbled 24 percent on Wednesday on the SIX Swiss Exchange, hitting a record low, and the price of its bonds dropped sharply as well. It did not help that, on Tuesday, the Swiss bank said it had identified “material weaknesses” related to its financial reporting. Unlike Silicon Valley Bank, Credit Suisse is considered a global systemically important financial institution, with $569 billion in assets as of year’s end and vastly stricter capital requirements. The bank also said it would seek to buy back debt of up to 3 billion Swiss francs. He later clarified that his bank would not go above the 9.9 percent it already owned because of regulatory issues. al-Khudairy said the state-owned bank would not put more money into Credit Suisse.

In a joint statement, the Swiss financial regulator Finma and the nation's central bank sought to ease investor fears around Credit Suisse, saying it “meets the capital and liquidity requirements imposed on systemically important banks”. “It is clearly a flight to safety from that perspective, but I think three days don’t make a trend.” Hoping to quell concerns, FINMA and the Swiss central bank said there were no indications of a direct risk of contagion for Swiss institutions from US banking market turmoil. The statement came after a major government and at least one bank put pressure on Switzerland to act, said people familiar with the matter, as the lender became caught up in a crisis of confidence after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) last week.

Credit Suisse takes $54bn loan from Swiss central bank after share ... (The Guardian)

After largest shareholder was unable to provide backing, Europe's 17th largest lender says it will use government help to become 'simpler and more focused'

The bank has suffered an exodus of clients, who have continued to pull their cash, contributing to ballooning losses that grew to 7.3bn Swiss francs in 2022. The shortfall spooked investors, led to a share sell-off and a run on its deposits, before authorities stepped in last week. The bank, Europe’s 17th largest lender, has been struggling to keep customers after a string of scandals in recent years. The move to shore up Credit Suisse’s finances came a few hours after the central bank and the Swiss financial markets regulator issued a joint statement pledging emergency funding if needed. Those bonds had dropped in value due to recent interest rate hikes. Expectations of a 50 basis-point rate rise in Europe have evaporated as markets radically rethink the global interest rate outlook.

Credit Suisse says it will borrow as much as $54 billion from the ... (Fortune)

Shares in Credit Suisse plunged by as much as 31% on Wednesday following comments from the bank's largest investor.

He pointed to the firm’s liquidity coverage ratio, which indicates the bank can handle more than a month’s worth of outflows in a period of stress. The ground for Credit Suisse’s sudden lurch had been laid earlier in the week as investors sought to move away from banking risk after turmoil induced by the failure of the US lender. Meanwhile, the borrowing comes in the form of a covered loan facility as well as a short-term liquidity facility, which are fully collateralized by high quality assets, the bank said. Switzerland’s second-largest lender, which traces its roots back to 1856, has been battered over the last several years by a series of blowups, scandals, leadership overhaul and legal issues. The bank’s shares slumped by as much as 31% on Wednesday in Zurich trading, and its bonds fell to levels that signal deep financial distress, as persistent doubts over the scandal-ridden lender combined with a global selloff in banking stocks. The troubled lender will borrow the money from a central bank liquidity facility and is making a tender offer to buy back up to three billion francs of dollar- and euro-denominated debt, according to a statement released around 1:45 a.m.

"Credit Suisse was widely seen as the weakest link among Europe's large banks, but it is not the only bank which has struggled with weak profitability in recent years." Leaving a Credit Suisse branch in Geneva, Fady Rachid said he and his wife are worried about the bank's health. That fanned new doubts about the bank's ability to weather the storm. It came after the Saudi National Bank told news outlets that it would not inject more money into the Swiss lender. Regulators said they believed the bank had enough money to meet its obligations. Before the chaos erupted, ECB head Christine Lagarde had said it was "very likely" that the bank would make a large, half-percentage point rate increase to tackle stubbornly high inflation. The stock has suffered a long, sustained decline: Now it's trading at 2.10 Swiss francs, while in 2007, it was at more than 80 francs ($86.71) each. That dragged down other European banks after the collapse of some U.S. Credit Suisse, which was beset by problems long before the U.S. banks stirred fears about the health of global banks.
