The FDP blames former Finance Minister Ueli Maurer for the Credit Suisse crisis, citing his failure to establish a liquidity safety net and provide transparent communication.

In March 2023, a regional banking crisis in the U.S. unexpectedly impacted Credit Suisse, prompting federal authorities to act swiftly to maintain its solvency and prevent a global financial crisis. Despite extensive preparatory work, negotiations for a merger with UBS were challenging, leading to multiple fallback options being considered. The Parliamentary Investigation Committee later criticized the handling of the crisis, highlighting weaknesses in the existing too-big-to-fail regulations and the need for improved risk management and early crisis detection.
The PUK report attributes the downfall of Credit Suisse primarily to management missteps, while highlighting the leniency of politicians and authorities towards the banking lobby.

Following its difficulties, Credit Suisse was sold to UBS in an emergency sale, averting fears of a global financial crisis.
