Credit Suisse pedirá prestados hasta 50.000 millones al Banco ... (EL PAÍS)

La entidad está en el centro de las miradas después de que sus títulos se desplomaran un 24%

Es licenciado en Periodismo por la Universidad de Sevilla y Máster de periodismo de EL PAÍS. La subida de los tipos de interés por parte de los bancos centrales ha pasado a considerarse un factor de riesgo para una parte de la banca después de la quiebra del Silicon Valley Bank, afectado por pérdidas en bonos del Tesoro estadounidense muy devaluados por el endurecimiento de la política monetaria que se vio obligado a vender antes de su vencimiento. Ha sido corresponsal de EL PAÍS en Bruselas y colaborador de la Cadena SER en la capital comunitaria. El banco está pagando los excesos de años de mala gestión en los que se ha visto involucrado en múltiples escándalos, ha sido castigado con multas por los reguladores por malas prácticas, y ha perdido la confianza de inversores y clientes, que en el cuarto trimestre del año pasado pusieron a prueba la resistencia de la entidad con retiradas masivas de fondos. La reestructuración puesta en marcha por Körner ya ha supuesto la venta el pasado noviembre de una parte de su negocio de inversión al fondo Apollo y el despido de miles de empleados, pero aún no ha concluido. El banco central insistió en que Credit Suisse cumple los exigentes requisitos de capital y liquidez, y negó que hubiera riesgo de contagio para las instituciones suizas

Wall Street continúa lidiando con el tumulto bancario a nivel nacional, luego de que el colapso de Silicon Valley Bank y Signature Bank sacudiera los mercados la semana pasada y principios de esta semana. Los aumentos de precios al productor se desaceleraron a un ritmo anual de 4,6% el mes pasado, significativamente por debajo del 6% en enero, informó este miércoles el Departamento de Trabajo. Las acciones del prestamista suizo Credit Suisse cayeron más de un 20% después de que su mayor accionista decidiera no aumentar la financiación. Los mercados europeos cerraron fuertemente a la baja debido a la caída de las acciones bancarias en todo el continente, lideradas por Credit Suisse. El banco proporcionaba financiación a casi la mitad de las empresas tecnológicas y sanitarias de EE.UU. Fitch y S&P Global Ratings rebajaron este miércoles la calificación crediticia de First Republic Bank ante la preocupación de que los depositantes pudieran retirar su dinero a pesar de la intervención federal para restaurar la fe en el sector bancario. El banco se desplomó este miércoles más de un 24%, alcanzando un mínimo histórico, después de que su principal accionista dijera que no tenía previsto conceder más fondos a Credit Suisse. Las acciones bancarias se vendieron con fuerza el miércoles debido a que las preocupaciones sobre la resiliencia del sector tras la desaparición de Silicon Valley Bank se extendieron más allá de Estados Unidos. "Los problemas en Credit Suisse son muy diferentes a los que provocaron la caída de SVB hace unos días", señaló Neil Shearing, economista jefe del grupo de Capital Economics.

But it is unclear if Credit Suisse has time to go through with this plan. The bank counts billionaires and sovereign-wealth funds among its biggest clients. Deposits fell 40% last year to 234 billion Swiss francs, equivalent to $252 billion, while total assets dropped 30% to 531 billion francs, or about $571 billion, because the bank was, among other things, scaling back its businesses. Dan Davies, head of research at Frontline Analysts, said the bank likely won’t use the facility to cover operating costs. That led to a selloff in shares of banks around the world, including Credit Suisse’s. Credit Suisse may not actually need the money, analysts said. But problems for the Swiss lender turned particularly acute on Wednesday, when its largest shareholder, Saudi National Bank, said in a Bloomberg TV interview that it wasn’t considering adding to its investment due to regulatory rules. But on Wednesday, problems surrounding the bank exploded into plain view.
