Explanation:
In the Credit Suisse crisis, the presence of substantial Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC) was a significant strength of the post-2008 resolution framework. TLAC provided a necessary buffer to absorb severe losses and write-downs (like the complete write-down of AT1 bonds), which facilitated the bank's acquisition by UBS. Public sector support (from FINMA and SNB) and cross-border regulatory cooperation were still heavily utilized, making Options A, B, and D incorrect.
Q.5 While the Credit Suisse case presented significant challenges, certain aspects of the international resolution framework proved to be strengths in managing the crisis. Which of the following was a key strength demonstrated in this case?
A
The complete avoidance of public sector financial support.
B
The absence of any need for cross-border cooperation.
C
The existence of substantial Total Loss-Absorbing Capacity (TLAC).
D
