Europe's Banking Crisis Worsening. Credit Suisse Shares Hit An All Time Low

 

CNBC: Credit Suisse shares tank after Saudi backer rules out further assistance 

* Shares of embattled bank Credit Suisse hit another all-time low for a second consecutive day. 

* edit Suisse’s biggest backer, Saudi National Bank, has said it won’t provide further financial help for the bank. 

* Speaking to CNBC’s Hadley Gamble during a panel session in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday morning, Credit Suisse Chairman Axel Lehmann declined to comment on whether his firm would need any sort of government assistance in the future. 

Shares of Credit Suisse on Wednesday plunged to a fresh all-time low for the second consecutive day after a top investor in the embattled Swiss bank said it would not be able to provide any more cash due to regulatory restrictions. 

Trading in the bank’s plummeting stock was halted several times throughout the morning as it fell below 2 Swiss francs ($2.17) for the first time.

Credit Suisse is finished. The only thing that can save it now is a consortium of banks bailing them out (which I doubt), or the Swiss government stepping in. Bottom line. The bank will probably be saved, but it is going to be very costly and it is going to take years for Credit Suisse to recover.
