The investment in Credit Suisse formed less than 0.5% of the Saudi lender’s total assets of more than 945 billion riyals as of last December, and there is no expected impact on profitability, the statement said.as part of a wider state-backed rescue plan.Hunt for deals In January, Qatar Investment Authority increased its stake in Credit Suisse to 6.8% and is its second biggest shareholder. Saudi National Bank is almost 40% owned by the Public Investment Fund, the kingdom’s sovereign wealth fund.
“2008 saw many losers among SWFs but also some winners – and in that vein, SNB’s and QIA’s losses will not prevent other Gulf investors from pursuing other opportunities,” he said.
