March 15, 2023 - Around 2 mins mins to read

Key Points:

  • Credit Suisse’s shares hit a record low after the Saudi National Bank declined further financial support amidst a challenging year for the banking industry.
  • CEO Ulrich Koerner reassured investors that the bank’s liquidity base remains strong and that the material weakness mentioned in the bank’s report has no impact on its financial results.
The year 2023 has been a challenging one for the banking industry as three prominent banks have already collapsed, causing a ripple effect throughout the financial market. Amidst this turmoil, on March 15, Credit Suisse’s shares hit a new record low after its largest shareholder, the Saudi National Bank, declined to provide further financial support.

However, Credit Suisse Bank CEO Ulrich Koerner recently reassured investors that the bank’s liquidity base remains strong.

Koerner stated that the material weakness mentioned in the bank’s report had no impact on its financial results. He clarified that the weakness only pertains to the financial reporting controls and has no bearing on the bank’s financial performance. Koerner also emphasized that the situation in the United States is not comparable to Credit Suisse’s, and that the bank has strong capital ratios.

Despite Koerner’s reassurances, the bank’s stock prices plummeted by 27.36% after the news. At press time, Credit Suisse’s shares were trading at 1.90 CHF.

The drop in stock prices was triggered by the Saudi National Bank’s refusal to provide additional financial support to Credit Suisse. However, Credit Suisse Chairman Axel Lehmann noted earlier that the bank has strong capital ratios, providing further reassurance to investors.

While the banking industry is facing significant challenges, it is important to note that individual banks’ situations may vary. In this case, Credit Suisse’s CEO Koerner has indicated that the bank’s liquidity base remains strong, and that the material weakness in the report has no impact on the bank’s financial results. Nevertheless, the ongoing banking crisis and the collapse of three prominent banks this year serve as a reminder of the importance of strong risk management and financial controls in the banking industry.
