The end of Switzerland's second largest bank and the trust that needs to be regained The Credit Suisse affair has caused enormous damage to the image of the Swiss financial center. The anger of shareholders, clients and Parliament remains, as they were bypassed by the Federal Council when it decreed the merger between UBS and its main competitor. Between fines, sanctions and scandals, there were signs that something had been wrong with Credit Suisse for some time, and yet, no one, starting with FINMA, intervened. The collapse did not only affect large investors, but also small savers who had been sold AT1 bonds whose value was reduced to zero. This also adds to the long legal consequences. Will the new, large UBS now be able to regain the trust of shareholders and clients at home and abroad? The new credit institution is in a very delicate position: the systemic risk has further increased and the law called "To big to fail" will have to be rethought.
