3.CREDIT SUISSE RECOVERS GROUND ON EMERGENCY GOVERNMENT SUPPORT

瑞士政府力挺瑞信能否绝地反击

Swiss bank Credit Suisse on Thursday said it would borrow up to 54 billion US dollars from the Swiss central bank to shore【支撑】up its finances. That came after a 24 percent slump in its shares on Wednesday which intensified fears about a global banking crisis, though the bank's shares bounced back after the announcement.

瑞士银行瑞信周四（03/16）宣布，将从瑞士央行借入高达540亿美元以增强其资金实力。此前，该行股票在周三（03/15）暴跌24%，加剧了人们对全球银行业危机的担忧。尽管在宣布借款这一消息后，该行股票回弹上升。

The Wednesday slump followed Credit Suisse on Tuesday reporting "material weaknesses" in the bank's internal controls on financial reporting. Its largest shareholder Saudi National Bank then declined to put more money into the Swiss lender. To shore up liquidity, the bank announced it would borrow money from the Swiss central bank, which led to a sharp rebound on Thursday morning.

在周三（03/15）股价暴跌之前，瑞士信贷在周二（03/14）发布年度报告时表示其金融控制方面存在“重大缺陷”。其最大股东沙特国民银行随后拒绝向瑞信投入更多资金。为了支撑流动性，瑞士信贷宣布它将从瑞士央行借入资金，这导致了周四（03/16）上午股价的大幅反弹。

“So it's gonna could bring back confidence. It's emergency medicine, but they've stabilised the patient and they've indicated quality care. Right now there'll still be a course of recovery and this will still be a vulnerable patient.”

“这么做可能会恢复信心。（央行）就像是急救药物稳住了患者，并承诺提供高质量护理，但在接下来的恢复过程中，患者仍然很脆弱。”

It all fanned fears about the wider health of financial institutions, because it followed the recent failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank in the US. But European Union officials said yesterday that the banking system in the bloc has no direct exposure to the US problems.

前有美国硅谷银行和签名银行接连倒闭的暴雷事件，人们对金融体系的稳定性愈加担忧。但欧盟官员昨天（03/15）表示，欧洲银行体系不会直接受到美国金融问题的波及。

Mairead McGuinness, Financial Services Chief of European Union

麦瑞德·麦吉尼斯欧盟金融服务主管

“The direct impact on the European Union seems to be limited. We can say that the EU banking sector is in overall good shape. It has built up its resilience【弹性】in recent years and it is supervised closely by national and European authorities. ”

“（那些动荡）对欧盟的直接影响有限。欧洲银行业总体情况良好，近年来这些银行已经建立起了弹性机制，并且受到国家和欧洲机构的严密监管。”

The announcement of government support brought Credit Suisse shares bouncing back by as much as 40 percent in the European market in early trading today.

瑞士政府力挺瑞信的消息传出后，瑞士信贷的股价在今天（03/16）的欧洲市场早盘中反弹了40%之多。
