According to the Financial Times, Credit Suisse has requested public backing from the country’s central bank after its shares slid by as much as 30 percent on Wednesday. The bank is also expected to seek a similar signal of support from the regulator Finma. The move appears aimed at stabilizing a market reaction that followed a turbulent session and a broad wave of investor concern.

The bank, one of Switzerland’s largest financial institutions, saw its stock affected amid turmoil surrounding Credit Suisse and Silicon Valley Bank. Saudi National Bank, which holds a 9.9 percent stake in Credit Suisse, has faced questions about further capital injections. In a blunt interview with Bloomberg TV, Ammar Al-Khudairy, head of the Saudi bank, stated that his group would not be providing additional capital for a range of reasons spanning regulatory and legal considerations.

The remarks intensified market fears, triggering a broader sell-off as investors reassessed exposure to the Swiss lender and related financial peers. Within the Spanish Ibex, several banking stocks declined sharply, and the sector-wide pullback contributed to a day of heightened volatility and cautious sentiment across European markets.

Market observers noted that the crisis spotlighted the fragility that can accompany large, interconnected banks during periods of stress. Analysts emphasized the importance of credible government and regulatory signals to restore confidence and prevent a wider disruption in financing channels for corporations and households alike.

In Silicon Valley Bank developments, the sector faced interconnected pressures as liquidity concerns and restructuring debates continued to shape investor expectations. Industry insiders argued that timely action from authorities and strong risk-management signals could help stem further declines and stabilize the system going forward.
