LONDON, March 16 (Reuters) - British finance minister
Jeremy Hunt said on Thursday that he was encouraged by news that
Switzerland's central bank had offered liquidity to Credit
Suisse after the bank's shares plunged on Wednesday
amid a sell-off in financial shares.
"Obviously, I was following the situation. The governor of
the Bank of England is following it very closely," Hunt told Sky
News television.
