Question use strings in case statement options

I iterate in string list well but when I try to add a case statement in order to wrap the string value in a more accurate message I faced different problems.

#Code starts
ST_CODES="CN CU BU CQ LE"
for ST_CODE in $ST_CODES
do
#echo $ST_CODE
CODE="$ST_CODE""\n"
case "$CODE" in
"CN") echo " Countries " ;;
"CU") echo " Currencies" ;;
"BU") echo " Business Units";;
"CQ") echo "Currency Quotations";;
"LE") echo "Leagal Enities";;
esac
done
#Code finish

Thanks in advance!
