A Match Made In Switzerland
It was another wild weekend in banking news, so let’s go through the headlines and summarize what happened. 📰
The biggest story of the day is the shotgun marriage between Switzerland’s two largest banks. Sunday afternoon, it was reported that UBS agreed to buy its embattled rival Credit Suisse for 3 billion Swiss francs (~$3.2 billion). This was up from the initial $1 billion offer made by UBS and will see investors receive 1 UBS share for every 22.48 Credit Suisse shares they own.Â
