UBS Buys Credit Suisse And Creates A Real Estate Giant. Does A Credit Crunch Still Loom?

UBS has bought fellow banking giant Credit Suisse in a deal that will create a bank with an $80B commercial real estate loan book and more than $100B of real estate assets under management — making it the fourth-largest CRE lender in the world — but the key element of the deal for CRE is whether it can stop liquidity drying up in the banking system.

The new laws aim to increase B.C.’s housing stock to help solve the province’s rental shortage, with changes to the Act scrapping rental restrictions, including
