central bank has agreed to offer a $100000000000.00 loan and the government will guarantee up to $9000000000.00 of potential losses. should you be s, his losses from the take over exceed a certain threshold was says for toys is means we bring back stability and security for credit suisse clients. that is very important. and also we keep the reputation of switzerland as a financial center high fights us with the. and finally, it means that we are stemming the turmoil in the international financial markets. these are the 3 goals that are very, very important to us in the siege of dried spec, a to z, a z, a z of is to st. phones. credit suisse is balance sheet is around double the size of lehman brothers, which triggered the 2008 financial crisis when it collapsed. the swiss bank is far more embedded in the global financial system with multiple international

subsidiaries. the swiss government says a credit suisse collapse could have triggered a financial crisis. and that's why they stepped in to support its rescue by u. b. s. a move supported by experts in a once a large and highly connected institution, such as this runs into trouble that there is always a risk of contagion. and it may be a good idea for regulators and central bankers to try to get ahead of that problem . swiss financial authorities have the support of their peers. the u. s. federal reserve, the e. c. b, and other major central banks have released statements welcoming the rescue of credit suisse. carson union as chief economist at j software servicing that the private swiss bank carson welcome to the show. we've seen already that markets are having a little indigestion with this deal. when we look at the global banking system will still do more good than harm. so it's always the question,
11:20 am
mostly i kind of just would've been so nationalization is probably not better bankruptcy, it wouldn't be better. it's in the end, it probably did the least that solution that we could get in this situation as surprising as it was for all of us. that question now, is that what we do with such a big bank with a not too large country and how this is impacting financing conditions for other banks is one thing. it's a lot of shareholders that are facing a lot of losses. a lot of bondholders are facing losses, and this in the end could increase borrowing costs, all banks, all over the world. i'd like you to listen to equip that we have. this is pasco, donna, who he's had of the euro group. that's the gathering of euro's own finance ministers . we asked him just on friday if europe's banks were fundamentally healthy. and here's what he said. take a listen. yes,
11:21 am
i believe they are in the context of the changes that are taking place at the moment. we can see changes that are taking place elsewhere in the world are aware of the development with regard to the european bank that has taken place this week . but if i look at where we are overall, i believe the regulatory changes that we have made since the global financial crisis have had a very significant and positive effect on our banking system. i also look at the amount of capital and liquidity that our banks have at the moment. and again, i believe that is a very strong level of protection against the kind of risks that have developed. so we can never be complacent. but i do believe the measures that we have taken will work. or if there was you're a group head, passcode on who's speaking with my colleague rob watts, they're back to you cause newness, is that true? is, are european banks fundamentally in a much better position to handle what we're seeing right now when we look at capital? when we look at some of the leveraging changes that have been made, all that taken together. so i also believe that we are in
11:22 am
a better situation that regulation is much better at the banking, say it in a much better situation. but what we heard in this short clip but was a couple of times i believe, i believe i believe. so there is no absolute sense and that it's a, it's a confidence issue that we, that we have in confidence can be going to and can be lost and it can't be gone within a very short period of time. that means we have moved it really yet. in this, this situation, and i only can say i want to hope and i believe that confidence is coming at bank and that we don't have contagion effects, but 100 percent. sure. we can never be in such an issue. carson swiss bankers are supposed to be prudent and rather boring. what does this deal that we've just seen is kind of urgent situation. what does it mean for your countries reputation as a banking destination board?
