UBS holds talks to save Credit Suisse report

Struggling bank Credit Suisse could be bought by biggest rival UBS, several media have reported. Politicians insist a European banking crisis is unlikely, but Swiss regulators want a deal before Monday.

Credit Suisse is in advanced talks to be acquired by its biggest Swiss rival, UBS, the Financial Times (FT) reported Saturday.

The country’s central bank received a $54 billion (€50 billion) bailout from the country’s central bank this week after investor confidence weakened due to years of scandals, multibillion-dollar losses and the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.

But the surge in liquidity has failed to restore confidence in the 167-year-old lender, whose shares have lost more than 75% of their value in the past twelve months.
