ECB President Christine Lagarde said the banks "are in a completely different position from 2008" during the financial crisis, partly because of stricter government regulation. Notably, Credit Suisse did not need government assistance in 2008 during the financial crisis, while UBS did. That fanned fears that Credit Suisse would be the next domino to fall. It said the deal includes 100 billion Swiss francs ($148.4 billion Cdn) in liquidity assistance for UBS and Credit Suisse. As a result, their downfall does not necessarily signal the start of a financial crisis similar to what occurred in 2008. An uncontrolled collapse of Credit Suisse would lead to incalculable consequences for the country and the international financial system."

UBS will buy rival Credit Suisse for more than $2 billion in a deal brokered by Swiss officials to try and prevent a banking crisis.

In the last two years alone, the bank's stock has fallen by more than 80%. Panicked investors and jittery depositors pulled billions out of the long-troubled Credit Suisse in recent days, leading to worries the bank could become insolvent if emergency measures were not taken. Under the deal, UBS Group AG will buy Credit Suisse for more than $3 billion in an all stock deal.

The deal, backed by the Swiss government, follows weekend talks aimed at preventing its collapse.

The acid test as to whether this Swiss rescue has calmed nerves in the financial world will be when financial markets open on Monday - which is why it was so important to get this done on Sunday night. Credit Suisse has become the latest and most important casualty of a crisis of confidence that has already seen the failure of two mid-sized US banks and an emergency industry whip-round for another. That has spooked investors and seen the share prices of all banks fall with those considered weakest hit hardest. The Bank of England said it welcomed the "comprehensive set of actions" set out by the Swiss authorities. The Bank of England said it welcomed the "comprehensive set of actions". The Swiss National Bank said the deal was the best way to restore the confidence of financial markets and to manage risks to the economy.

If that results in losses, UBS would assume the first 5 billion francs and the federal government the next 9 billion francs. The government’s loss-guarantee was necessary because there was little time to do due diligence and Credit Suisse has hard-to-value assets on its books that UBS plans to wind down, Kelleher said. Credit Suisse shareholders will get UBS stock in a deal that values the bank at 3 billion francs. The firm said it plans to cut the combined company’s annual cost base by more than $8 billion by 2027. A UBS press release emphasized that the combined firm will have $5 trillion of client assets. UBS is paying 3 billion francs for its battered rival in a deal aimed at avoiding a broader financial crisis.

AT1 bonds were introduced in Europe after the global financial crisis to serve as shock absorbers when banks start to fail. “This will be a total blow to the AT1 market. That’s why the decision to write down the bank’s riskiest debt — rather than its shareholders — provoked a furious response from some of Credit Suisse’s AT1 bondholders. Following the FINMA announcement, some trading desks simply updated their clients that a write-down had occurred. Meanwhile, the bank’s shareholders are set to receive 3 billion francs. In that instance, the equity was also written off.

Credit Suisse shareholders will feel shortchanged, but salvaging at least something is the best outcome under current circumstances.

In its conference call, UBS warned that though it is looking to move quickly to wind down the Credit Suisse securities business, some positions have very long durations. UBS confirmed that it has clearance from the Swiss competition authority to retain Credit Suisse's Swiss banking operations.

The restructuring will come with material costs, but UBS is better placed than Credit Suisse to absorb this. UBS is in a much better position to execute a radical restructuring of Credit Suisse's business than Credit Suisse was. The challenge for UBS will be to keep revenue attrition to a minimum during the restructuring period.

Finma became the first regulator to watch a bank deemed systemically important have to be rescued since the financial crisis.

Michael Klein, who had been tapped to lead the CSFB spinoff, was already in the process of selling his advisory boutique to Credit Suisse for a consideration of about $210 million when the bank’s fortunes suddenly unraveled in recent weeks. Saudi National Bank’s investment was stunning in its brevity: the lender lost 1.1 billion francs less than 15 weeks from when it finished buying its stake in Credit Suisse’s latest capital raise. But he’ll have 56 billion francs of so-called badwill to help cover any writedowns, as well as 9 billion francs of guarantees from the Swiss government to take on certain losses.
