Following news of the Swiss deal, the worlds central banks announced coordinated financial moves to stabilize banks in the coming week.

That fanned fears that Credit Suisse would be the next domino to fall. As a result, their downfall does not necessarily signal the start of a financial crisis similar to what occurred in 2008.

Sudden bank runs and collapses point to the possibility of people losing confidence in the banking and financial system. While it is true that central banks want the economies to slow down so that inflation comes down, what is happening is quite worse. On the one hand their primary mandate is to bring down inflation and restore price stability in the economy. The second way to look at these collapses is to look at the macro picture. The global economy has had a very long period of loose monetary policy (lots of money being printed by central banks and credit being made available at near zero percent interest rate) followed by a sudden and very sharp monetary tightening (read a sharp rise in interest rate across the world as well as reduced money supply). On each of these occasions, the lack of inflation encouraged central banks to maintain interest rates below the economy’s growth rate. This made Signature Bank the third largest bank to collapse in the US. In fact, some of the top management even sold their stocks before the collapse. When one does that one will find that these banks (that is, their management) are paying the price of either undertaking risky bets or ignoring prudential norms or indulging in outright fraud or a combination of these. Further, SVB could not spot this terrible risk in its portfolio because it allowed the position of Chief Risk Officer to stay vacant between April 2022 and January 2023.

Our central scenario is that they will do a 25 bps rate hike but it can vary on a day-to-day basis depending on what is happening in the markets. We actually went briefly above the high in 2009 but it is not yet anywhere near the 2008 level. How should one change the portfolio or make incremental investment at a time like this when the markets are taking a bit of a slide? Summarising that, we would say we are overweight bonds versus equities, overweight investment grade bonds versus high yield bonds and overweight Asia relative to the developed market. We are pretty comfortable with our positioning at this time. [liquidity](/definition/liquidity)concerns that we have had over recent times morph into something more concerning on the solvency side. What is the expectation from this very eventful week? Well, I am not sure it will in the immediate future stem all the contagion risks that we have around the world.

This unit was established in the 1990s during India's reform process and has since become a key player in advising foreign investors who are looking to invest in the Indian capital market. UBS has been operating a securities broking and advisory business in India since the 90s. The question now on everyone's mind is whether UBS will choose to surrender the Credit Suisse license in India. UBS's decision to buy out the beleaguered Credit Suisse for USD $3.25 billion marks its re-entry into the Indian banking industry. This is because the Indian unit is mostly focused on wealth management and other service-based offerings. The business has been on the decline for the last three years. The exit from India had nothing to do with any India-specific issues. The bank began a significant reorganisation initiative in 2011 with the goal of focusing its attention away from investment banking and into other businesses like private banking, foreign exchange, advisory services, and capital-light assets. Private sector Axis Bank has recently acquired Citi's consumer business in India. The license to operate as a branch model was pending for some time due to clarifications sought by the RBI.

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. While UBS Chairman Colm Kelleher didn’t directly address CSFB at a press conference late Sunday, he did indicate that the firm was happy with its own investment bank and planned to cut back Credit Suisse’s substantially as well as pare back risk. The Swiss government had to step in an provide billions of francs in guarantees to UBS and the central bank was forced to provide extensive liquidity backstops to facilitate the rescue, putting taxpayers at risk 15 years after they bailed out UBS. Finma became the first regulator to watch a bank deemed systemically important have to be rescued since the financial crisis. In recent days, the pressure intensified until the Swiss government was forced to step in. He said earlier in March that he’d exited the stake in recent months. 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. Credit Suisse’s chief executive officer is expected to depart, having inherited a broken lender that he was unable to revive. Here are some of the big winners and losers to emerge from the deal. 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. Shareholders won’t even get to vote on this deal after Switzerland changed its rules to rush the merger through. The firm thought it was buying at a bargain when it became the Swiss bank’s largest shareholder just a few months ago.
