  • "We have worked closely with Credit Suisse for many decades in a spirit of trust," said Schneider.
  • "You can see from such an example that Switzerland as a business location and a financial center are very closely linked. We now have to see how to reorganize our banking relationships, both with Swiss and international providers."
  • He called the intervention of Swiss government, the central bank and financial market regulator to have restored confidence among investors.
  • Regarding Nestle, Schneider said the company had made a good start to 2023.
  • Schneider noted that a further price hike by the maker of Nescafe instant coffee and KitKat chocolate bars is likely to offset cost pressure.
  • "We will continue to do this in a responsible way, we don't want to be a price driver. We respond to inflation, we don't fuel it," he said in the interview.
  • The food maker raised prices by 8.2% last year.
