WHY RUMOR C0MPARE
THE CREDIT SUISSE
FROM LEHMAN?
 ACCORDING TO RUMORS, THE MARKET
CHAOS MAY CAUSE CREDIT SUISSE TO
FAIL BECAUSE THE BANK IS IN RISK OF
FAILING.

PROBABILITY THAT SOMETHING SIMILAR
WILL OCCUR TO THE 2008 GREAT
DEPRESSION THAT RESULTED IN THE
BANKRUPTCY OF LEHMAN BROTHERS.

HAPPENED IN
LEHMAN BROTHERS?

FOR BANKRUPTCY IN AMERICAN
HISTORY.

 WHAT IS THE
RESPONSE OF CREDIT

CREDIT SUISSE
UNDER SIEGE

LAST WEEK, PRESSURE WAS EXERTED ON CREDIT

AS MUCH AS 55% IN A MATTER OF DAYS, WHILE
THE SHARE PRICE DROPPED BY AS MUCH AS 20%
IN TWO DAYS.

WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH CREDIT
SUISSE?

THE PRESSURE ON EUROPEAN BANKS IS

CURRENTLY WIDESPREAD, BUT CREDIT
SUISSE HAS SOME PARTICULAR ADDED
DIFFICULTIES.

https://simplywall.st/article/credit-suisse-is-not-looking-good
 EUROPEAN BANKS
HAVE A COMBINATION
OF CHALLENGES TO
DEAL WITH
 GOVERNMENT BONDS ARE A BANK’S MOST
IMPORTANT ASSET. THE SELLOFF IN
GOVERNMENT BONDS, WHICH THE U.K.’S
CURRENT CRISIS HAS ALSO CONTRIBUTED TO,
MEANS BANK BALANCE SHEETS AREN’T AS
STRONG AS THEY WERE.
THE PROSPECT OF A RECESSION MEANS NON-
PERFORMING LOANS ARE BOUND TO RISE AND
OTHER SOURCES OF INCOME ARE ALSO LIKELY
TO TAKE A KNOCK.
