The Swiss National Bank should look beyond its own ranks for a successor to Chairman Thomas Jordan who will step down in September, a group which campaigns for accountability at the central bank.
About six months before Credit Suisse was sold to rival UBS in a weekend rescue, the head of the Swiss central bank wanted to inject 50 billion Swiss francs ($57.6 billion) into the lender and nationalise it, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the matter.
