Credit Suisse’s Rohner Signals Bank May Mull Merger With UBS
Credit Suisse Group AG’s departing chairman, Urs Rohner, gave the strongest indication yet that the bank may consider a combination with its biggest rival, saying a merger with UBS Group AG isn’t “unreasonable” and would bring benefits.
UBS and Credit Suisse are smaller than rivals in the U.S. and less richly valued by investors, and a single institution would have more clout, Urs Rohner said in an interview with Swiss newspaper Schweiz am Wochenende. While declining to comment on “rumors” about a possible combination, he said bank chairmen have a duty to think about such scenarios.
His comments came weeks after Chief Executive Officer Thomas Gottstein said the bank will consider potential acquisitions. Two months ago, UBS Chairman Axel Weber rejected reports that Switzerland’s largest bank was planning to merge with its rival. European banks are trying to bulk up in their home markets before long-awaited cross-border consolidation takes hold. While domestic mergers are heating up in countries such as Spain and Italy, the lack of a common deposit plan and banking union makes deals between financial firms in different countries less attractive.
There are plenty of reasons why a merger of two large banks is complex, Rohner said, pointing to regulators as well as cultural issues and timing.
UBS’s Weber has been studying the feasibility of a mega-merger with Credit Suisse as part of a regular thought-exercise on future strategic options, people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg in September. The world’s largest wealth manager has explored the question with consultants but it hasn’t raised the topic at the level of the executive board, the people said.
Weber tried to damp speculation about a tie-up with Credit Suisse when he said in October that his bank wasn’t “looking for a bride.”
Prospects for a tie-up may also depend on the priorities set by UBS’s new Chief Executive Officer Ralph Hamers, who took the helm last month. Hamers made his first mark on the bank’s executive board this week, boosting the responsibilities of two high-ranking executives, Sabine Keller-Busse and Iqbal Khan.

look for this activity to increase going forward-(((they))) have tried everything to keep the shit-pile known as fractional reserve banking going and they are nearing the end of the ability to fake it so they will consolidate the bigger banks into each other with these sort of "shotgun" marriages".
it's habbening here-the realization of what has transpired over the last several years got pushed forward with Newsome's recent bullshit.
Not saying it's all out and understood but they are realizing….slowly.
UK to send aircraft carrier strike group to waters near Japan
The British navy will dispatch an aircraft carrier strike group to waters near Japan as soon as early next year, Japanese government sources said Saturday, in a rare development that comes amid the growing maritime assertiveness of China in the region.
The group, including the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth, is expected to conduct joint exercises with the U.S. military and Japan's Self-Defense Forces during its stay in areas including off the Nansei Islands chain in southwestern Japan, the sources said.
It is unusual that countries other than those in the region as well as the U.S. keep an aircraft carrier operational in the western Pacific. The move comes amid concerns over China's increasing assertiveness in the East and South China seas as well as about its handling of pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong. It could trigger an outcry from Beijing.
During the dispatch, the British navy also plans to conduct maintenance on carrier-based F-35B stealth fighter jets at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd.'s aerospace systems works in Aichi Prefecture, central Japan, the sources said. Britain announced last year it will dispatch the carrier group to the Pacific and has since been in talks with Japan and other relevant countries, they said.
The carrier, commissioned in 2017, is "the largest and most powerful vessel ever constructed" for the British navy, weighing 65,000 tons and measuring 280 meters in length, according to the navy.
