Luxembourg, 20 March 2023 – The buyout of failing Credit Suisse by competitor UBS is unconvincing and will not soothe markets for the time being. This is what Moventum’s Managing Director and Head of Asset Management Carsten Gerlinger anticipates. “In effect, a façade is being puttied with a lot of political central bank money, but it is the engine room at Credit Suisse that is burning”, says Gerlinger. “Hence, a new Swiss problem bank could emerge from combining a strong bank and a weak one.”

The recent Credit Suisse proposed acquisition by UBS and the saga of the collapse of several banks in the US (SVB and Signature Bank), may be a trigger that it is time to rethink banking regulation.
