1/5 Was ich im Nationalrat nach der Erklärung im Namen der @GrueneParlament zum #CreditSuisse Skandal auf Französisch gesagt hatte:
#AMC basher Credit Suisse reported Q1 financial results yesterday.
"CREDIT SUISSE REPORTED SIGNFICANT NET ASSET OUTFLOWS" of 61 Billion Swiss Francs (over 68.5B USD)
Reported a Pre-tax LOSS of 1.316 Billion! ($1,316,000,000) 👀

1/ Il capo della supervisione bancaria europea non coglie alcuni aspetti che rendono l'approccio post 2008 fallace nel garantire stabilità sistema finanziario. Qui sintetizzo le motivazioni che ho espresso in questo video:
👉
bankingsupervision.europa.eu/press/speeches…
👉
bankingsupervision.europa.eu/press/speeches…
2/ L'impianto post-2008 si basa su corretta individuazione e misurazione rischi presenti nelle banche. Tuttavia in un sistema estremamente complesso come quello finanziario, queste due cose sono praticamente impossibili se non al prezzo di rendere l'attività bancaria impossibile.
3/ la riprova di questo viene dalle stesse parole di #BCE ed #EBA, i cui vertici sono venuti in parlamento la scorsa settimana a dirci che gli #stresstests 2023 saranno ancora più stringenti, ammettendo loro fallimento nel monitorare alcuni rischi (es. rischio tassi).
Starting 2-weeks ago #SVB, #CreditSuisse & a few other smaller US banks failed. Whilst this is yet to become a #FinancialCrisis on the scale of ’08, it is also not certain that such a crisis hasn’t already begun. Join us for a thread of the best analysis so far!
First up, let’s acknowledge last year's release of @stefeich's – The Currency of Politics, and this interview in @thenation prior to the SVB collapse. His work provides important background understanding on the nature of money, banking and monetary policy.

Geldwäscherei, Drogengeschäfte und faule Kredite: etliche Skandale stellten das Vertrauen in die #CreditSuisse in den vergangenen Jahren auf die Probe. Top-Manager erhielten trotzdem saftige Boni, die Bankenaufsicht sah zu. Ein🧵zur Historie der CS-Skandale: /1
Es liest sich wie ein Kriminalroman. Die CS ließ ihren ehemaligen Vermögensverwalter Khan nach seinem Wechsel zur #UBS und weitere Mitarbeitende über Jahre hinweg beschatten. Nachdem dies 2020 ans Licht kommt, muss der damalige Präsident Tidjane Thiam gehen. /2
März 2021: Das Vertrauen in die CS wird weiter erschüttert. Der Zusammenbruch der Greensill-Fonds und des Hedgefonds Archegos kostete die Bank Milliarden. CS hatte die Greensill-Fonds zuvor noch als voll versichert beworben - und hat bis heute nicht alles zurückgezahlt. /3
1/ Fassen wir zusammen: Eine "too big to fail"-Grossbank, die nach der globalen Finanzkrise 2008 zu wenig reguliert wurde, implodiert nach Jahren des Missmanagements. Der Staat greift ein. Wie? Er macht eine *andere* systemrelevante Bank *noch grösser*.
2/ Die implodierte Bank wird, unter Einsatz von Notrecht, zu einem Spottpreis an eine andere Grossbank verscherbelt. Ohne Auflagen für diese andere Grossbank. Diese kriegt zusätzlich noch über 200 *Milliarden* Garantie an öffentlichem Geld.
3/ Das Ergebnis: Eine neue Mega-Bank mit potenziell noch grösserem Risiko. Das systemische Risiko einer Grossbank wird "gelöst", indem man eine noch grössere Bank baut und ihr, ohne Auflagen, Hunderte Milliarden zusichert. Vollkommen bekloppt.

Two striking resemblances btw #SVB & former @CreditSuisse.
Both banks did not pay attention to the top 8–20 risks, which every board must.
Either these banks kept their risk desks understaffed or didn't hire key managerial position holders at all.
Why?
Need introspection now.

@CreditSuisse It was reported on this forum that #SVB did not have a CRO for some 8 months during the VC Market spiralling.
Also, I read just now that former @CreditSuisse was sacking key MDs in their across their risk desks.
This trend continued since the #Archegos fiasco surfaced after 2019

CRO Chief Risk Officer or Head of Risk Management is a key managerial decision-making position and C Suite Level role which every financial institution can afford to keep empty these days.
The Front, Middle, and Back Office roles form key lines of defence against top risks.

Lo que ocurrió fue prácticamente una venta forzada o expropiación del banco.

As reported, "support of up to 50 billion Swiss francs by the Swiss National Bank" was announced, but the share price fluctuated "from $2.1 to $2.2." Now we are starting to see a downtrend again.

Given the current situation, I am skeptical of the argument that
"there are too many assets, so that's okay".
In my opinion, there is a further sharp decline in the share price, and the possibility of "bankruptcy" will increase.
In my opinion, there is a further sharp decline in the share price, and the possibility of "bankruptcy" will increase.
The reason for this is the following three factors.
1) Credit Suisse has seen a “rapid influx of deposits” since fall 2022 (ongoing)
2) In the past, "Lehman shock", the "share price fall" in a short period of the factors that cause bankruptcy.

1/ The fact that #SVBank failure was a shock for markets tells a lot about the quality of markets (and regulators)

Switzerland is a strange country. On the surface it is a polished Disneyland. “Swissneyland”, a friend of mine likes to call it. At a closer look, it is the well-oiled PR machine of a corporation. This is a thread between a rant & trying to grasp the #CreditSuisse issue.

15y ago I was a journo newbie at a fin news agency in Zurich. My colleagues & I watched the shares of another bank plummet by the second – the UBS, the too-big-to-fail, the bailout, where the state saved a private company in order to save the economy. swissinfo.ch/eng/business/2…
Once again we have a bailout, but this time we don't call it this. It looks like a private takeover of CS by UBS, but with a deficit guarantee by state structures. It also creates a new monster at the heart of the Swiss banking system.
Die #CreditSuisse hat übrigens eine interessante Geschichte. Sie wurde 1856 vom liberalen Schweizer Politiker Alfred Escher gemeinsam mit der Allgemeinen Deutschen Kreditanstalt als Schweizerische Kreditanstalt (SKA) aus der Taufe gehoben und residierte seit (Foto: Wikipedia) 1/3
1873 am Zürcher Paradeplatz. Der Vater von Escher hatte eine Kaffeeplantage mit Sklaven auf Kuba. Die haben das Start-Kapital mit ihren geschundenen Rücken erwirtschaftet. 2/3

Eine Woche, in der sich die #Bankenkrise immer weiter aufgebaut hat und Banken global eine 1/2 Trillion $ an Wert verloren haben, gipfelt im Notkauf der #CreditSuisse durch die UBS. Ermöglicht durch 100 Mrd $ an öffentlichen Geldern. Ein Thread 🧵zur Einordnung.
Der Beginn: Am Freitag vor 1 Woche kollabiert die Silicon Valley Bank - der größte Bank-Kollaps seit der Fnanzkrise 2008. 97% der Kunden sind Unternehmen. Durch ein Abgehen von der Regel werden über die Einlagensicherung hinaus alle Guthaben gesichert. newstatesman.com/quickfire/2023…
Im Gegensatz zur letzten Bankenkrise sind die Ursache nicht Subprime-Kredite, sondern der Umstand, dass die Bank stark auf langfristige Staatsanleihen gesetzt hat. Durch die umfassende Erhöhung des Leitzinses durch die Zentralbanken haben die Anleihen massiv an Wert verloren.
FINMA: GOV'T SUPPORT WILL TRIGGER A COMPLETE WRITE-DOWN OF THE NOMINAL VALUE OF ALL AT1 SHARES OF CREDIT SUISSE IN THE AMOUNT OF AROUND CHF 16 BILLION. ON THIS BASIS, IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO CONTINUE ALL THE BUSINESS ACTIVITIES OF BOTH BANKS WITH NO RESTRICTIONS OR INTERRUPTIONS.
FINMA: SNB MOVE WILL PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LIQUIDITY TO CARRY OUT THE TAKEOVER. WILL ALSO COORDINATE WITH NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL AUTHORITIES , NAMELY THE US FEDERAL RESERVE AND THE BRITISH PRUDENTIAL REGULATORY AUTHORITY.
