Banking giants warned by US regulator over ‘living will’ shortcomings

Regulators find fault at Barclays, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and UBS

US bank regulators on Thursday faulted Barclays, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and UBS for shortcomings with their “living will” plans for winding themselves down in a crisis.

The Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation said each of the foreign-owned firms had shortcomings with how their US units communicate and coordinate with their overseas parents during a bankruptcy or other stress event. Credit Suisse also was cited for shortcomings related to estimating the liquidity needs of its US firm, the Wall Street Journal reported.
