Its how much it costs annually to insure an investment in credit suisse. In basis points

We are primarily funded by readers. Please subscribe and donate to support us!

So 1000 basis points is 10% – if you want to insure your $1m investment into credit suisse you have to pay $100k yearly for a 5 year insurance

Which means the insurer thinks theres about a 50% chance that the bank doesnt exist in 5 years

At least thats how I understand it.
