Switzerland’s secret bank accounts and political neutrality turned the small Alpine nation into a financial giant. Now the demise of Credit Suisse, one of its two big banks, has shaken global finance and created a megabank in UBS that comes with new and potentially bigger risks. Bloomberg journalists trace the history of Swiss banking and how the ramifications of the Credit Suisse crisis extend far beyond the country’s borders.

The primary point of the video was introduced about in the last minute of the video: that the Swiss government may not enough money to bailout UBS. The prior part of the video neither explored this point nor explained why this may be true. So, the video should have been (much) longer, explaining why this may be true and what the likelihood of this happening is.

@cd4683 Год назад

Alternatively it should have been like 90 seconds.

@gregmark1688 Год назад

I bet they wanted to make it longer, but it's probably really hard to convince yourself there's any point in explaining banking and money to us poors, since none of it is relevant to us.

@freddoflintstono9321 Год назад

The problem is that those who were warning publicly against "going American" (as some called it) were ridiculed as they made less profit, overlooking that less profit also came with far less exposure to uncontrollable external risks which had provided that exact stability. Someone like Konrad Hummler (whose bank also ended up closing because senior personnel 'went American' and so landed the bank in trouble) was warning against this trend as early as 2008 but was laughed at. Look for "Konrad Hummler Fighting over preserves" - this was when the German government was openly encouraging the theft of Swiss banking data. This is not the first time his warnings later proved accurate. CS operated a long time across the red line and was caught, and trust is like interest: it takes a while to build. That's why CS failed: it had squandered market trust, so when it really needed it there were no reserves. However, one final note: do not fall for the deflection, though: the original problem started in the US. Again.

That’s not the point that the people are arguing about it though. In laws, debts holders had to be made whole before equity holders can get some sort of payment.

The key question is selling securities labeled as debt and thereby creating the illusion that the holders of those securities would have preferential rights over equity holders, in the worst case scenario, but these so-called creditors were left holding the bag. It will need to be ascertained how the bank was able to pull that off.

@earlystrings1 Год назад

It was able to pull that off because this was one of the terms of the bond. They were almost exclusively owned by institutional investors who would have completely understood the risk or, if not, compel failed in due diligence. These were not conventional bonds.

The ingenious way in which Switzerland handled the Credit Suisse crisis has increased the confidence of many investors. No comparison with other countries, which tend to act helplessly. It made it possible to carry out a strategically sensible merger that would not have been possible under normal circumstances. UBS will become one of the 10 largest banks in the world. The other banking centres are suffering from indebted states and weak currencies. An investment in Swiss francs brings a return of 10% if only the currency gains are taken into account.

On 14 May 1938, the members of the Council of the League of Nations approved Switzerland's request for "integral neutrality". This means that they may not exercise any economic sanctions. The adoption of EU sanctions against Russia is unconstitutional and contrary to international law. The Swiss people will have their say on this. A referendum is currently pending that wants to reintroduce absolute neutrality. It is to be expected that the people will accept the initiative. In this way, foreign investors are assured that there will never again be any sanctions, unless they are imposed by the UN Security Council.

The euro has lost a third of its value since its introduction. The dramatic currency collapse will intensify in a time of galloping inflation in these countries. Without intervention by the Swiss National Bank in favour of these currencies, the dollar and the pound would be at 0.10. There is no alternative to Switzerland for any dutiful investor.
