REUTERS/Denis Balibousetapped the Swiss National Bank for "a large multi-billion amount" last weekend to secure its liquidity, the country's finance minister Karin Keller-Sutter told Swiss broadcaster SRF on Saturday.

"Last weekend, a large multi-billion amount was withdrawn by Credit Suisse for liquidity protection," Keller-Sutter said. She said this was because customers had again withdrawn money, but also because counterparties were demanding guarantees when they are doing business with the bank. Keller-Sutter said "it is to be assumed" that the figure was above 50 billion Swiss francs , but said the Swiss National Bank had the exact number.
