Credit Suisse warns of 'material weaknesses' in financial reporting (The Guardian)

Swiss bank's shares fall as annual report reveals another blow to its bid to recover from string of scandals.

The bank has shaken up its executive board, replacing longtime chief financial officer David Mathers with Dixit Joshi, who joined from Deutsche Bank where he was group treasurer. The bank said those discussions had now been concluded. Outflows jumped to 123bn Swiss francs (£11bn) last year, which made it breach some liquidity buffers. The chairman, Axel Lehmann, decided to waive his fee of 1.5m Swiss francs for 2022 “given the poor financial performance in 2022 and challenging situation for the firm at the beginning of the three-year transformation”, according to the annual report. Credit Suisse’s bonds also weakened to record lows on Tuesday, after comments in its delayed annual report. It said in the annual report that “significantly higher withdrawals of cash deposits” began early in the fourth quarter of last year, and “outflows stabilised to much lower levels but had not yet reversed as of the date of this report”.

Credit Suisse shares fall 20% to record low as top shareholder rules ... (The Guardian)

Credit Suisse shares are sliding as its largest investor said it cannot provide the Swiss bank with more financial assistance.

Fear has once again gripped the markets, concerned about a repeat of past crises - one in particular, for obvious reasons - and the implications for the financial system and the global economy. Against this background, FINMA confirms that Credit Suisse meets the higher capital and liquidity requirements applicable to systemically important banks. The bill may be coming due for more than a decade of rock-bottom interest rates and a massive quantitative easing experiment. In addition, the SNB will provide liquidity to the globally active bank if necessary. The U.S. Concerned by another bank failure, traders sold shares of European banks heavily. For “don’t panic” optimists, this is just a case of jittery investors unfairly playing games of whack-a-mole after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in the US last week. There are no direct links between the two institutions but the market is hard-wired to hunt for the next victim. One of SVB’s problems (aside from basic risk-management cock-ups) was that it had to crystallise a chunk of those losses when depositors fled. “We have strong capital ratios, a strong balance sheet,” he said. By way of irrelevant comparison, the national chocolate champion, Nestlé, is worth almost 300bn Swiss francs. In a joint statement, the Swiss financial regulator FINMA and the nation’s central bank said that Credit Suisse “meets the capital and liquidity requirements imposed on systemically important banks.”

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.

Credit Suisse drags down big lenders as fears spread to Europe (New Zealand Herald)

Shares in the globally connected Swiss bank Credit Suisse have plunged overnight, dragging down other major European lenders as fears about deeper problems ...

The Credit Suisse parent bank is not part of EU supervision but it has entities in several European countries that are. “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.” The central bank is considered less likely than national supervisors to look the other way at developing problems. A day earlier, Credit Suisse reported that managers had identified “material weaknesses” in the bank’s internal controls on financial reporting as of the end of last year. The turbulence came a day ahead of a policy meeting by the European Central Bank. Markets were watching closely to see if the bank carries through despite the latest turmoil. The turmoil prompted an automatic pause in trading of Credit Suisse shares on the Swiss market and sent shares of other European banks tumbling, some by double digits. The stock has suffered a long, sustained decline: In 2007, the bank’s shares traded at more than 80 francs ($86.71) each. France’s BNP Paribas fell more than 10 per cent.

"Credit Suisse is not just a Swiss problem but a global one," one economist has remarked.

"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." The turmoil prompted an automatic pause in trading of Credit Suisse shares on the Swiss market and sent shares of other European banks tumbling, some by double digits. That fanned new doubts about the bank's ability to weather the storm. A statement from the bank did not specify whether the support would come in the form of cash or loans or other assistance. At its lowest, the price was down more than 85% from February 2021. But Switzerland's central bank announced late on Wednesday that it was prepared to act, saying it would support Credit Suisse if needed.

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.
