INDONESIAKININEWS.COM - 
The scale of the potential job cuts underlines the challenge facing Credit Suisse and new chief executive Ulrich Koerner, who is seeking to put the bank back on an even keel after a string of scandals.

The bank declined to comment beyond repeating that it would give an update on its strategy review with its third-quarter earnings, saying that any reporting on outcomes was speculative.

Credit Suisse has dubbed 2022 a "transition" year with a change of guard, restructuring to curtail risk-taking in investment banking and bulking up wealth management.

The Zurich-based bank has dismissed speculation that it could be bought or broken up.

The discussions about job cuts are ongoing and the number of reductions could still change, the source said. Swiss newspaper Blick earlier reported that more than 3,000 jobs would be shed.

Credit Suisse has already said it will cut costs below 15.5 billion Swiss francs ($15.8 billion) in the medium term, versus an annualised 16.8 billion francs this year.

So far, it has not outlined job cuts.

Koerner, promoted to CEO just over a month ago, has been given the task of paring back investment banking and cutting more than $1 billion in costs to help the bank recover from a string of setbacks and scandals.

His strategic review, the second in less than a year, will evaluate options for the bank, while reaffirming its commitment to serving wealthy customers.

The Swiss lender is under increasing pressure to turn around the business and improve its financial resilience.

"Cutting cost is the easiest immediate step it can take. But it’s not a strategy," said Andreas Venditti, an analyst with Vontobel. "You can end up in a vicious circle, where jobs are cut, service declines and customers leave."

Venditti highlighted another conundrum: "Should restructuring costs, including from job cuts, run into the billions, the bank may also need to raise more capital."

Analysts at Deutsche Bank estimate that it may need to bolster capital by 4 billion Swiss francs to shore up its buffers and fund the revamp.

Koerner, 59, a restructuring expert, succeeded Thomas Gottstein as CEO in August after a tumultuous two years punctuated by huge losses, a rare court conviction for the bank in Switzerland and a 40% plunge in its shares.

Between April and June, the bank chalked up a 1.59 billion Swiss franc loss, as legal costs mounted. Its investment bank alone lost 1.12 billion Swiss francs before tax.

Twin hits - a $5.5 billion loss on the default of U.S. family office Archegos Capital Management and the shuttering of $10 billion of supply chain finance funds linked to collapsed British financier Greensill - have also beset the bank.

In June, Credit Suisse was also convicted of failing to prevent money laundering by a Bulgarian cocaine trafficking gang in Switzerland's first criminal trial of one of its major banks. It is appealing against the conviction.

In a sign that Credit Suisse expects an improvement in its fortunes, a senior executive told Reuters that it is still betting big on China and plans to launch a wealth business there next year. read more

The bank aims to start offering wealth management services in China next year on the back of securing full ownership of its local securities venture.
