Credit Suisse hit a new low.

 Shares in the bank have hit a new low after a report that a reg­u­lator is examin­ing com­ments by chair

Credit Suisse

Axel Lehmann over how much cli­ents had with­drawn. The renewed weak­ness in the stock fol­lowed a statement by Reu­ters that Finma was invest­ig­at­ing the accur­acy of com­ments made by Axel Lehmann to the Fin­an­cial Times on Decem­ber 1, and to Bloomberg a day later, in which he claimed out­flows had stead­ied and in some cases reversed. The com­ments by Lehmann came at a crit­ical time for the bank as it sought to raise SFr4bn of fresh cap­ital from share­hold­ers. Lehmann told the FT on Decem­ber 1 that out­flows had «com­pletely flattened out and . »

A day later, in an inter­view on Bloomberg TV, Lehmann said out­flows had «basic­ally stopped». The bank revealed in its full-year res­ults this month that out­flows con­tin­ued throughout Decem­ber and into Janu­ary across the group, though there were areas of the busi­ness that had net inflows, such as Switzer­land and Asia-Pacific region. Cus­tom­ers with­drew SFr111bn from the group in the final three months of 2022, with two-thirds of the out­flows com­ing in Octo­ber when the bank was the sub­ject of rumours on social media about its fin­an­cial health. The wealth man­age­ment busi­ness accoun­ted for SFr92.7bn of the out­flows in the quarter, sur­pass­ing the SFr61.9bn expec­ted by ana­lysts.

    Credit Suisse is probably going under. I don't see things turning around for them. They are way in over their heads at this moment.

      Yes and it's obvious their chair Axel Lehman has to lie about certain things in an attempt to salvage the bank. If people knew the truth then 90% of them would withdraw their money.

Commercial properties continue to fall

  UK commercial property values and rents are projected to «tumble off a cliff edge» in the first quarter of 2023, as estate agents warn offices will fare worst as prices fall. A survey of more than 400 commercial agents forecast a 2.9 per cent decrease in prices per square foot across the industry in the first three months of the year, with offices falling 3.1 per cent. «Where we saw the market stop still, we will see the market finding its level, people working out where things are, where value is,» he said. Listed vehicles have already seen this valuation drop in their share prices, with real estates investment trusts such as Land Securities and British Land falling by a fifth or more this year. According to the RIB estate report, offices are expected to suffer the most significant sales price falls, with nearly a third of respondents expecting them to come down by more than 5 per cent. In addition, the survey projected a 1.3 per cent fall in rents per square foot over the perio...

BoE is considering to increase deposit guarantee.

  According to anonymous sources, the Bank of England is considering reforming its deposit guarantee scheme. The move comes in response to concerns that the current system may not be sufficient to protect customers in case of a bank failure. The Financial Services Compensation Scheme guarantees deposits up to £85,000 per person per institution. However, some experts have raised concerns that this may not be enough to prevent a run on banks in a significant financial crisis. As a result, the Bank of England is reportedly considering several options for reforming the scheme, including increasing protection and introducing more stringent bank regulations. A final decision on any changes will be made later this year. One option the Bank of England considers is increasing the protection offered by the deposit guarantee scheme. This could involve raising the maximum amount guaranteed per person or extending coverage to more types of deposits. Another possibility is to introduce more stri...
