This was due to declining confidence in the bank.<\/p>\n<p>According to a February 9th media statement, net outflows by the bank were 110.5 billion Swiss francs ($120.36 Billion), up from 12.9 billion ($14.05 Billion) in the third quarter.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.credit-suisse.com\/media\/assets\/corporate\/docs\/about-us\/media\/media-release\/2023\/02\/q4-22-press-release-en.pdf\">PDF<\/a>) detailing the company\u2019s fourth-quarter financial results.

This follows a 3.03 billion francs (3.39 billion) loss in third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>The company suffered a huge quarterly loss of 7.3 Billion Francs ($7.95Billion) for the entire of 2022. This was compared to the loss at 1.65 Billion Francs ($1.8Billion) in 2021.

Last year, the bank&#8217;s bonus pool was reduced by half.<\/p>\n<p>The year \u201c2022 was a crucial year for Credit Suisse. We announced our strategic plan to create a simpler, more focused bank, built around client needs, and since October we have been executing at pace,\u201d Korner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe successfully raised CHF ~4 billion in equity capital, accelerated the delivery of our ambitious cost targets, and are making strong progress on the radical restructuring of our investment bank.\u201d Credit Suisse shares have fallen by 64 percent over the past year.
