When one player is absorbed, the musical chairs are being rearranged and that creates opportunities," said Enna Pariset.

After collapsing of Swiss Giant CS. (Credit Suisse) Attractive opportunities arise for other global financial players.

Reuters says

France BNP Paribas, Germany's Giant, Deutsche, US Lenders Citi and Bank of America are among those increasing staffing and courting smaller companies that form the bedrock of the Swiss economy.

Anna Pariset who heads of BNP Paribas Swiss operations, says

"When one player is absorbed, the musical chairs are being rearranged and that creates opportunities,"

She says,

"Sometimes you're lucky."

From the clients perspective

Nicola Tettamanti, president of Swissmechanic, which represents small and medium-sized industrial companies in Switzerland, welcomed the moves by foreign banks, although he said the benefits might take some time to filter down.

""As a fan of competition I am quite comfortable with more players in the market, which will lead to improved services and better prices," he told Reuters."

"I think they will focus on the big companies first, but the smaller companies will eventually see the benefits after the banks have built up their business," added Tettamanti, who also wanted Swiss banks to do well abroad.

"We managed both to win new business and increase our business volumes with existing customers,"

Veronique Voser, Head of unit of Germany Switzland and Austria, said, pointing to double-digit revenue growth in 2022 and 2023.

"In terms of the loans financing, I've seen instances where competitors have been increasing pricing and the clients have asked us to step in as an alternative", said BNP's Anna Pariset.

"Brooke Wachtel, Bank of America's head of corporate banking in Switzerland, said the window of opportunity was closing. "Corporates are seeking new banking partners and are expected to fill this gap within the next 12 to 18 months," she said."

🏗️ Corporate Complicity in Genocide: The Global Economy Behind Gaza’s Ruin.

📅 July 5, 2025 “We are witnessing not just genocide in Gaza—but a genocide made profitable.” — UN Special Rapporteur, A/HRC/59/23 “This report is written from the heart of darkness . It is penned with a broken hand from a broken land for a broken people . But its words are not broken . They are the words of law and of longing . They are the words of those who are not yet silenced . It is written for Palestinians , first and foremost. It is also addressed to those who remain silent , indifferent or complicit . And it is a call to action for those who are not.” — Introduction, UN Report A/HRC/59/23 In an unprecedented and unflinching report to the UN Human Rights Council, the Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territory has laid bare the truth that much of the world’s corporate, academic, and financial architecture is actively complicit in Israel’s occupation, apartheid, and now, genocide in Gaza. This isn’t just about military aggression . This is about the mac...

Tumbling of American Banks amid weak economic data that sparks recession fears.

" Citigroup led big bank losses with a near 5 per cent fall. Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs fell about 4 per cent each, while JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America declined 2.7 per cent and 3.5 per cent, respectively. Lenders typically feel the squeeze as recessions heighten concerns over credit losses due to higher unemployment, while loan demand – a key factor in profitability – also takes a beating." https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/banking-finance/us-banks-tumble-weak-economic-data-sparks-recession-fears

The Ceasefire of Exhaustion: When Empires Collapse from Within

By Malik Mukhtar — ainnbeen.blogspot.com Two years after Gaza was first set on fire , the war that began with biblical vengeance has stumbled to an exhausted ceasefire . On October 9, 2025 , Israel and Hamas — after endless carnage, famine, and rubble — have signed the first phase of a ceasefire agreement mediated in Sharm el-Sheikh . Trump called it a “ historic peace plan. ” History may call it a truce of attrition — a war that collapsed under the weight of its own hubris. What the Ceasefire Says — and What It Doesn’t Under the agreement, Israeli forces are to pull back to a designated “yellow line” within 24 hours of cabinet ratification. Hamas, in turn, will release all remaining hostages — alive or dead — within 72 hours after the withdrawal. Israel will free about 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, though it made sure to exclude political figures like Marwan Barghouti , whose freedom would remind the world that Palestine still breathes. Humanitarian convoys — food,...

WORLD OF EXCESS. Quotes of Corrine Maier

" we live in a world of excess: too many kinds of coffee, too many magazines, too many types of bread, too many digital recordings of Beethoven's Ninth, too many choices of rearview mirrors on the latest Renault. Sometimes you say to yourself: It's too much, it's all too much." ~ " We live in a society of ants, where working and reproducing represent the ultimate objective of the human experience. Work is the opiate of the people; will children be their consolation? A society where life consists of earning a living and raising your kids is a society with no future, since it has no dreams. Having a child is the best possible way to avoid asking what the meaning of life is, as everything revolves around that child, who is a marvellous substitute for the existential quest." "When you are "recruiting" people in temporary positions for the firm ( short term contracts, free lancers) treat them well, remember: they are the ones who actually do a...

Dr.Allama Muhammad Iqbal.

The first witness is thine own consciousness - See thyself, then, with thine own light. The second witness is the consciousness of another ego - See thyself, then, with the light of an ego other than thee. The third witness is God’s consciousness - See thyself, then, with God’s light. If thou standest unshaken in front of this light, Consider thyself as living and eternal as He! That man alone is real who dares - Dares to see God face to face! What is ‘Ascension’?Only a search for a witness Who may finally confirm thy reality - A witness whose confirmation alone makes thee eternal. No one can stand unshaken in His Presence; And he who can, verily, he is pure gold. Art thou a mere particle of dust? Tighten the knot of thy ego; And hold fast to thy tiny being! How glorious to burnish one’s ego. And to test its lustre in the presence of the Sun! Re-chisel, then, thine ancient frame; And build up a new being. Such being is real being; Or else thy ego is a mere ring of smoke! ...
