Credit Suisse's Rescue Creates Banking Crisis in Switzerland.
TL;DR Summary
UBS has agreed to buy Credit Suisse in a last-minute rescue deal that prevented a banking crisis from exploding. However, the deal leaves Switzerland exposed to a single massive financial institution, even as there is still huge uncertainty over how successful the mega merger will prove to be. The combined assets of the new entity amount to double the size of Switzerland’s annual economic output. The deal will have an adverse effect on jobs, likely adding to the 9,000 cuts that Credit Suisse already announced as part of an earlier turnaround plan.
