Credit Suisse Group AG just borrowed 50 billion Swiss francs from the Swiss National Bank, so now UBS Group AG is thinking about buying it. But before they give the go-ahead, UBS wants the government to offer a special protection if anything goes wrong with this purchase. This comes from sources close to the situation. Because UBS is the biggest private bank in the world, they want extra assurance that they won’t lose any money if they decide to buy Credit Suisse.

Swiss Government Steps In

Generally speaking, when making decisions, it is important to look at various points of view in order to make the most informed decision possible. Ensure that each point of view is taken into account by weighing the pros and cons and including opinions from individuals who possess different experiences. This helps you see all sides of a situation so you can come up with solutions that everyone can get behind.

UBS Group AG is trying to buy either all or parts of Credit Suisse Group AG, a big banking company. Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority and the Swiss National Bank are involved in their negotiations. This attempt is meant to build trust with investors and customers of Credit Suisse. On Thursday, they said they were borrowing 50 billion Swiss francs ($54 billion) from the Swiss National Bank so they can have more money.

Last Saturday some reporters said that UBS, a bank, is interested in acquiring Credit Suisse’s wealth and asset management units. But before they do this they want the Swiss government to provide them with protection against any potential losses. People who know about this situation requested that their identity remains anonymous but all agreed that these talks have become more serious recently.

UBS was reluctant to buy its competitor – Credit Suisse – because they were concerned about the potential risks involved. However, the Swiss government stepped in and negotiated a deal between them over the weekend. Other banks expressed interest, but no other transactions have been reported yet. Before this UBS-Credit Suisse merger negotiations, Credit Suisse had been struggling since last October. Their credit values went down dramatically and started to resemble what it was during the 2008 financial crisis.

Recently, three banks called Silvergate Bank, Silicon Valley Bank, and Signature Bank encountered some troubles. To help out the situation, 11 lenders put in $30 billion to a bank named First Republic Bank. The result was that Credit Suisse’s stock value (their shares) has dropped by 25% in the past seven days, and 35.58 % since the beginning of this year – which is bad news for them.

The Swiss government is considering supporting UBS’s purchase of Credit Suisse. What do you think about this plan? Share your opinion in the comments section!
