Reasons of the Global Financial Crisis

A collapse of the US sub-prime mortgage market and the reversal of the housing boom in other industrialized economies have had a ripple effect around the world. The origins of the current credit crisis lie in a loose monetary policy and excessive capital flows used by banks. Furthermore, other weaknesses in the global financial system have surfaced.Borrowing bought more borrowing, fuelling price increases in financial assets -- debt, equity, property, infrastructure. Major banks have reported losses of around $45 billion on their investments. The major regulatory response had been cut down in the US Fed funds rate and the discount rate. The credit problems required a substantial reduction in the level of borrowings and leverage in the global financial system.

  2. The financial crisis of 2007–2009 began in July 2007 when a loss of confidence by investors in the value of securitized mortgages in the United States resulted in a liquidity crisis that prompted a substantial injection of capital into financial markets by the United States Federal Reserve, Bank of England and the European Central Bank.
