The bank is the country’s second largest. Credit Suisse says in a statement that the decision to lend the money has been taken to “preemptively strengthen the bank’s liquidity”, writes the Wall Street Journal. 50 billion Swiss francs corresponds to NOK 577 billion. Credit Suisse’s share price plummeted on Wednesday. In the USA, three banks have collapsed, and the turmoil on the stock exchanges both there and in Europe has been great.
