The Swiss National Bank is looking at what measures are needed to stop another banking collapse after one of the country's biggest lenders, Credit Suisse, was bailed out by cross-town rival UBS in March.

The SNB said that while it could not yet judge the combined bank’s resilience, lessons needed to be learned from the near-failure of Credit Suisse in the run-up to its rescue deal earlier this year.
