According to the latest statistics from the Financial Regulatory Commission at the end of February, the banking, insurance and securities and futures industries (three financial industries) have an overall bond exposure position of 155.6 billion yuan to Credit Suisse; however, the banking, insurance and securities and futures industries have not stepped on Credit Suisse's position.

However, if further investigation is carried out, investors will invest their own positions. The Financial Supervisory Commission stated that customers of a total of 5 banks hold Credit Suisse AT1 bonds with a total of 1.6 billion yuan.

Tong Zhengzhang said that the content of the letter has two major points. The first is "the establishment of an early warning management and control mechanism", which requires banks to establish and strengthen a major event early warning management and control mechanism for the sale of financial products. When the time comes, the bank should grasp it in real time and carefully evaluate it, including "stop selling strategy", "assisting clients in communication with clients" and "assisting clients in redemption transactions", etc.

The second is "protecting the rights and interests of customers". All banks need to take the initiative to care for their customers, and also let customers grasp the latest information changes, so that customers can make investment decisions with an evaluation basis.

Zhang Zimin, deputy director of the Securities and Futures Bureau, said that as of the end of February this year, domestic investment trust funds did not hold Credit Suisse AT1 bonds;

In addition, it was also reported today that the global investment management organization "PIMCO" may have invested and held Credit Suisse AT1 bonds and lost 340 million US dollars in write-offs; according to PIMCO's self-disclosure, 15 overseas funds it invested in held Credit Suisse AT1 bonds.
