London’s Heathrow Airport said that passenger numbers in July rose 21% to 7.6 million, with nearly 250,000 passengers a day on average, and that it has had a strong start to the summer season. The airport, which is jointly owned by the Qatar Investment Authority, China Investment Corp. and Spain’s Ferrovial among others, said Friday that security lines consistently took under five minutes to complete, and that it was working closely with airlines to add more routes and frequencies to its network. Heathrow said that among the destinations it serves New York topped the list, and that departures to Gibraltar, Portugal and Italy were close to record levels. It added that 73,000 passengers flew to Turkey in the month, making it the busiest month ever for that destination. Cargo volumes in July rose 4.1% on year to 781,627 metric tons, Heathrow said.

Chaarat Gold Holdings has reported a fall in production from its Kapan Mine in Armenia for the first half, and is considering a potential sale of the asset. The AIM-listed mining company said Friday that Kapan production for the six months was of 26,523 gold equivalent ounces, compared with 30,022 gold equivalent ounces the same period a year ago. The fall was mainly driven by less stope, or mining space. The performance of the mine continues do be hurt by the stronger Armenian dram. Looking ahead, Chaarat expects production for the second half to increase on the back of improvements in plant capacity. The board said is currently evaluating a number of financing options, which include a potential sale of Kapan.

The U.K.’s Competition and Markets authority said it hasn’t found any competition concerns in the UnitedHealth Group and EMIS Group merger so far following an in-depth investigation, clearing the 1.2 billion pounds ($1.52 billion) deal provisionally. The regulator said Friday that it will now consult on its findings and listen to any further views before it reaches a final decision, adding that it welcomed responses from interested parties until Sept. 1. Its final report is due Oct. 5, it said. UnitedHealth and EMIS are specialist health care tech and software companies, which provide services to the U.K.’s National Health Service. In March the CMA said it decided to refer the merger to a next phase investigation after considering that initial undertakings wouldn’t achieve a reasonable solution following concerns that it could reduce competition, leading to worse outcomes for the National Health Service and patients and taxpayers.

UBS Group said it has terminated an agreement with the Swiss government to cover some potential losses from its acquisition of Credit Suisse and a liquidity backstop from the central bank, as it moves forward with the integration of its former rival.

The Swiss banking giant said Friday that a 9 billion Swiss franc ($10.27 billion) loss-protection agreement and a CHF100 billion public-liquidity backstop guaranteed by the Swiss government have been voluntarily ended.

The measures were put in place in June ahead of the completion of the Credit Suisse deal and allowed UBS to clear the final hurdle to seal an acquisition forced on it by Swiss authorities after its smaller rival lost the confidence of clients and investors.

The termination follows an assessment of Credit Suisse’s noncore assets that were covered by the agreement and the funding situation at Credit Suisse entities and the group overall, UBS said. Credit Suisse also repaid an emergency liquidity assistance loan of CHF50 billion to the Swiss National Bank as of Thursday, with a risk premium of CHF476 million, UBS said.

The Swiss government separately said the termination of all federal guarantees in relation to the takeover of Credit Suisse by UBS means it and taxpayers will no longer bear any financial risks arising from the agreements. The state didn’t have to assume any losses and earned receipts of around CHF200 million on the loss-protection guarantee and liquidity-assistance loans, the government said.

The measures were implemented to preserve financial stability under an emergency law which has now also become obsolete after the termination of the agreement, the government said.

The Swiss National Bank confirmed it had ended, at the request of UBS, the credit line it extended to Credit Suisse earlier this year.

“The targeted measures taken by the federal government, [Swiss financial regulator] Finma and the SNB to support the acquisition of Credit Suisse by UBS in March 2023 were necessary due to the acute crisis of confidence at Credit Suisse,” the SNB said.

After a review of Credit Suisse’s portfolio, UBS concluded the loss-protection agreement is no longer required, it said. The bank will pay CHF40 million to compensate the Swiss Confederation for the establishment of the mechanism, it said. All loans to Credit Suisse under the public-liquidity backstop set up on March 19–which allowed the SNB to provide liquidity to the lender with the backing of the government–were repaid as of the end of May, UBS said.

KBC Group is set to launch a share buyback program for up to 1.3 billion euros ($1.43 billion) after reporting second-quarter results. The Belgian financial-services company said late Thursday that the buyback will start on Aug. 11 and run until July 31 of next year. The program may be paused at any time based on market conditions, KBC said.
