The state had made available 9 billion Swiss francs while the central bank had allowed it to borrow up to 200 billion francs. The amount of cash aid that the state still has to repay amounts to about CHF 5 billion.
The state has to pay the money to the U.S. bank in exchange for the right to take over the bank's assets. The deal is expected to be completed by the end of the year or early next year, depending on the outcome of a vote by the Swiss parliament.
