The seven regions are Latin America, Brazil, Western Europe, Southern Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Central and Eastern Europe, the report https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-13/credit-suisse-is-said-to-split-main-wealth-unit-into-7-regions said.

The wealth-management unit led by Iqbal Khan will give the regions more autonomy to make decisions, and each will have its own management, Bloomberg added.

An announcement about the split, dubbed "Project Momentum," could come as early as this week, Bloomberg said, citing the people briefed on the matter.

Credit Suisse did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
