The effect of Credit Suisse collapse on the credit risk spillover across banks is understudied and unclear. Using the tail-event and network dynamics framework on weekly data covering 15 large European banks from March 11, 2020 to March 28, 2023, we show that the credit risk has a strong spillover effect on major banks, increasing systemic risk significantly after the collapse of Credit Suisse. This is notable for non-EU (Swiss and UK) banks in the post-collapse era. The findings are useful for policymakers and regulators concerned with contagious credit risk and the stability of the banking sector under extreme events.

Abstract
The effect of Credit Suisse collapse on the credit risk spillover across banks is understudied and unclear. Using the tail-event and network dynamics framework on weekly data covering 15 large European banks from March 11, 2020 to March 28, 2023, we show that the credit risk has a strong spillover effect on major banks, increasing systemic risk significantly after the collapse of Credit Suisse. This is notable for non-EU (Swiss and UK) banks in the post-collapse era. The findings are useful for policymakers and regulators concerned with contagious credit risk and the stability of the banking sector under extreme events.File in questo prodotto:
