London CNN —Staff at UK banks face layoffs in the lead-up to Christmas in what one labor union called “disgraceful” timing. Struggling Metro Bank said Thursday that it expected to slash headcount by 20% as part of efforts to save £50 million ($63 million) a year.

The Swiss government provided 9 billion francs ($10.3 billion) of loss protection guarantees to UBS as part of the state-sponsored takeover of Credit Suisse earlier this year. UBS also said that Credit Suisse had fully repaid an Emergency Liquidity Assistance Plus (ELA+) loan of 50 billion francs to the SNB. "The early voluntary repayment could potentially also help in other matters, such as negotiating the retention of the Credit Suisse Swiss business, in our view," Citi analyst Andrew Coombs said. Credit Suisse and UBS also borrowed 168 billion francs from the SNB in various emergency liquidity schemes to ease the takeover. Government help included a guarantee of up to 9 billion francs for losses UBS might incur from the sale of Credit Suisse assets, beyond 5 billion francs that UBS agreed to cover itself.
