ZURICH (Reuters) – Swiss bank Credit Suisse is continuing its share buyback programme as it wrestles with the fallout from the collapse of around $10 billion of funds related to British supply chain financier Greensill, it said on Thursday.
“Our guidance for the CET1 ratio of a minimum of 12.5% for at least the first half of 2021 remains unchanged, as does our guidance for the share buyback, which we continue to execute,” it said in a statement.
It has targeted to buy back at least 1 billion Swiss francs ($1.08 billion) worth of stock this year.
