Explanation:
A key weakness exposed during the resolution of Credit Suisse was the lack of an effective public liquidity backstop (PLB) mechanism. Because the PLB was not fully enacted as ordinary law in Switzerland at the time of the crisis, the Swiss government and the central bank had to resort to emergency decrees to provide the massive liquidity necessary to stabilize the situation and facilitate the UBS takeover. This highlighted a significant gap in the practical implementation of their resolution framework.
