CREDIT SUISSE Credit Suisse Group AG's average liquidity coverage ratio, a
measure of how much cash-like assets the bank has, did not
change between March 8 and March 14, despite the global banking
crisis, the Swiss lender said on Thursday. The bank told staff that the emergency backstop from the
Swiss central bank does not trigger a "viability event,"
according to documents seen by Reuters. U.S. shareholders sued the bank, claiming that it defrauded
them by concealing problems with its finances. UBS Group AG and Credit Suisse are opposed to a
forced merger, Bloomberg News reported, citing people with
knowledge of the matter. COMPANY STATEMENTS
