Credit Suisse Gets Assurance Of Backing From Swiss Central Bank

Concerns about the possible effect of problems confronting some institutions in the United States on Swiss financial markets have been addressed in a combined declaration by the Swiss Financial Market Regulatory Authority (FINMA) and the Swiss National Bank (SNB). The stringent capital and liquidity standards set up for Swiss financial institutions, according to the statement, guarantee their security and avoid immediate spillover from any issues in the US banking market.

As a strategically important bank that satisfies these criteria, Credit Suisse is thought to be well-positioned to withstand any possible disruptions. The SNB has promised to offer assistance should more cash be needed.

All banks must keep capital and liquidity reserves that are greater than the minimum criteria stipulated in the Basel standards according to Switzerland's regulation structure. To lessen the impact of significant disasters and disruptions, systemically important institutions are subject to even stricter regulations. Generally, the Swiss banking system is capable of handling any potential difficulties, according to FINMA and the SNB.

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) has agreed to guarantee Credit Suisse's conformance with legal standards as well as to offer the bank cash if required. To guarantee the safety of the financial system, FINMA, and the SNB are carefully watching the situation and staying in constant communication with the Federal Minister of Finance.
