Swiss bank says it failed to design and maintain an effective risk assessment process to identify and analyse the risk of material misstatements.

Credit Suisse was already under pressure as depositors, and other funding providers lost confidence, leading to substantial client withdrawals in 4q22, and its cost of funding increased with ballooning CDS spreads. The bank's annual report published Tuesday describes "material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting" both for 2021 and 2022.

Credit Suisse, which is in the middle of a complex three-year restructuring, has been struggling to contain deposit outflows. “They can’t seem to get the ship right.” When the default risk of a lender increases, it can lead to mark-to-market losses known as a credit valuation adjustment even if the institution meets its obligations. Credit Suisse’s bonds, meanwhile, dropped by as much as 40 cents on the dollar Wednesday, making it by far the biggest decliner amid a broader credit slump led by bank debt. Even if the trades are limited in size, it has a dramatic impact on derivative prices because of thin volumes, he added. So far, the moves are limited to Credit Suisse and haven’t spread to other lenders.

The bank's nosedive follows the loss of a key backer and only leaves difficult options on the table, Morningstar analyst Johann Scholtz says.

The bank’s best bet to stem outflows and ease the concern of providers of wholesale funding is yet another rights issue, Scholtz says. More importantly, without the Saudi National Bank, it’s unclear whether such a rights issue would even succeed. Its liquidity position seems adequate to handle deposit outflows, and it retains the fall-back of borrowing against its bond holdings from the Swiss National Bank, he added, though such a step wouldn't address Credit Suisse's profitability challenge or address capital concerns. This could lead to a total wipe-out for shareholders, assuming holding company bonds would need to be bailed in.

The U.S. The bank’s announcement in the early European morning helped trim some of those losses though trade was volatile.

In its statement early Thursday, Credit Suisse said it is exercising its option to borrow from the Swiss National Bank up to 50 billion Swiss francs (US$54 billion). The Swiss bank’s problems have shifted the focus for investors and regulators from the United States to Europe, where Credit Suisse led a selloff in bank shares after its largest investor said it could not provide more financial assistance because of regulatory constraints.

Credit Suisse is already in the process of carving out large parts of its investment bank. Koerner sought to calm concerns, saying Tuesday that Credit Suisse saw inflows of deposits when markets opened after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. Speculation about Credit Suisse’s financial health had already prompted record outflows in the final months of last year, which the bank is still working to reverse. They added they’re “following developments very closely and are in close contact with the Federal Department of Finance to ensure financial stability.” “Credit Suisse by some standards might be too big to fail, but also too big to be saved,” said Nouriel Roubini, the economist known for his bearish views of the global economy. Bloomberg reported earlier Wednesday that the government, central bank and Finma were in contact to discuss ways to stabilize Credit Suisse.
