Earlier this month, Alkhudairy said that SNB would not provide any more financial assistance to the struggling Credit Suisse. Following this, UBS Group (UBS) agreed to rescue Credit Suisse at a discounted price. The price of CS stock drastically fell as a result of Alkhudairy’s remarks.
The Riyadh-based bank bought a 9.9% stake in Credit Suisse for CHF 1.4 billion ($1.5 billion) in November 2022. Meanwhile, SNB said that its investment in Credit Suisse had been hit with a loss of around 80%.
