In general, and subject to certain exceptions (including the exception outlined below), European regulated investors are restricted from using a credit rating for regulatory purposes if such a credit rating is not issued by a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered under the CRA Regulation unless the rating is provided by a credit rating agency operating in the European Union before 7th June 2010 which has submitted an application for registration in accordance with the CRA Regulation and such registration is not refused. Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions set out in Article 4(3) of the CRA Regulation, a credit rating agency established in the European Union and registered in accordance with the CRA Regulation (an EU CRA) may endorse (for regulatory purposes in the European Union) credit ratings issued outside the European Union where (i) the credit rating activities resulting in the issuing of the credit rating are undertaken in whole or in part by a credit rating agency or credit rating agencies belonging to the same group (a non-EU CRA); and (ii) the EU CRA has verified and is able to demonstrate on an ongoing basis to ESMA that the conduct of the credit rating activities by the non-EU CRA resulting in the issuing of the credit rating to be endorsed fulfils requirements which are “at least as stringent as” the requirements of the CRA Regulation. Commission Implementing Decision 2012/628/EU provides that the United States legal and supervisory framework for credit rating agencies shall be considered as equivalent to the requirements of the CRA Regulation. Moody's Investors Service Limited (which has been registered under the CRA Regulation and appears on the list of registered credit rating agencies on ESMA's website - http://www.esma.europa.eu/page/List-registered-and-certified-CRAs) currently endorses credit ratings issued by Moody's Inc. for regulatory purposes in the European Union. There can be no assurance that Moody’s Investors Service Limited will continue to endorse credit ratings issued by Moody’s Inc. Notes issued under the Programme may be rated or unrated by any one or more of the rating agencies referred to above. Where a Tranche of Notes is rated, such rating will be disclosed in the applicable Final Terms and will not necessarily be the same as the rating assigned to the Programme by the relevant rating agency. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to suspension, reduction or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency.

  • Switzerland in the 19Th Century
    Switzerland in the 19th century The founding of the Swiss federal state ushered in a period of greater stability as regards both domestic and foreign affairs. The revised Constitution of 1874 extended the powers of the federal government and introduced the optional legislative referendum. Switzerland developed its system of direct democracy further and in 1891 granted the people the right of initiative on the partial revision of the Federal Constitution. That same year the Catholic conservatives – the losers of the Sonderbund war – celebrated, for the first time, the election of one of its representatives to the federal government. The federal state used its new powers to create favourable conditions for the development of a number of industries and service sectors (railways, machine construction and metalworking, chemicals, food industry and banking). These would become the mainstays of the Swiss economy. Not everyone in Switzerland reaped the benefits of the economic upturn. In the 19th century poverty, hunger and a lack of job prospects drove many Swiss people to seek their fortunes elsewhere, particularly in North and South America. At home, industrial towns and cities saw an influx of rural and, increasingly, foreign migrants. Living conditions for many members of this new urban working class were often precarious. Foreign policy During the wave of revolution that engulfed Europe in the early 1850s, relations between Switzerland and Austria, which also ruled northern Italy, were extremely tense. Many Italians, who wanted to see a united and independent Italy (Risorgimento), sought refuge in liberal- run Ticino. The local community sympathised with their cause, some even fighting alongside their Italian comrades or smuggling weapons for them.

Last year we celebrated Einstein and Schiller. And 2006 – the Mozart anniversary year – also happens to be the year in which Credit Suisse marks its 150th birthday. But why look back? Doesn’t that mean standing still? At a time when it is all too easy to lose touch with tradition, there is hardly a risk of that happening. Taking a constructive approach to our heritage helps to give us a sense of identity and cements our collective memory. Without a memory, we do not have any experience – and experience is vital for drawing the right conclusions from history. Hence this anniversary issue of the Credit Suisse Bulletin. We are taking the opportunity to recall our founder, Alfred Escher, and the age in which he lived. For Switzerland it was an age of change and upheaval. Alfred Escher was an exceptional person, and his birth a stroke of good fortune for Switzerland. He was much more than just the man who, in 1856, founded Schweizerische Kreditanstalt, today’s Credit Suisse.
