2007-2009 Financial Crisis
Almost 10 years after the Financial Crisis of 2007–2009, a great deal of confusion and doubt still lies within the minds of the people who were affected
by the crisis' overwhelming toll. The financial crisis is still considered relevant in the world's economy today not only because $16 dollars vanished
from the financial system, but also the financial recovery from the crisis is still in progress (Lam, NPR). There are multiple reasons to why the
Financial Crisis of 2007–2009 came into effect. However, the most identifiable origin for the cause of the financial crisis was the financiers of the
economy themselves. At the time of the crisis, the financiers of Wall St. believed to have eliminated most of their risk within the economy, when in
fact the financiers had only lost track of their risk. The Financial Crisis of 2007–2009 came into effect due to the burst of the United States real estate
bubble as well as the failed oversight of total risk in the economy by big bank financiers.
When looking back and analyzing the causes of the Financial Crisis of 2007–2009, one can find themselves first analyzing the United States real estate

The Financial Crisis Of 2007-08
Several factors lead to the 2008 financial crisis. The 1999 repeal of the Glass–Steagall Act effectively removed the separation between investment
banks and depository banks in the United States. Credit rating agencies failed to price the risk involved with mortgage–related financial products
accurately. The Government, concerned with not performing economically as well as the Clinton administration believed increasing home ownership
was the answer and reduced obstacles (like loan income/debt documentation). The world 's insurance companies began insuring mortgage instruments.
Excessive investment leverage, especially in the Banks and venture capitalist communities. And the Government did not adjust their regulatory
practices to address 21st–century financial markets– especially in credit default swaps (CDS). These factors set the stage for disaster and greedy
speculators wanting to short the housing market triggered it by systematically exposing the mortgage risks to the world.
The financial crisis of 2007–08, also known as the Global Financial Crisis, is considered by many economists to have been the worst financial crisis
since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Mr. Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve at the time, believed it was equally problematic in many
ways; although unemployment only reached half the level due to the Fed's actions combined with a $700B stimulus. It collapsed large financial

The Financial Crisis Of 2007 / 2008
The financial crisis of 2007/2008 had a negative impact on the UK economy, resulting in low growth and high level of unemployment while inflation
constantly remained above the 2% target. In those extraordinary circumstances focus of monetary policy had to be on growth rather than reaching
inflation target, resulting in gradual reduction of the Bank rate from 5.75% in middle of 2007 to its lowest level of 0.5% in the beginning of 2009
(BoE, 2014). Although, a low interest rate led to significant depreciation of sterling, a tightening policy at that time would be a major mistake, that
could lead to deflation and depression, rather than recovery and inflation around target (Fisher, 2014). Despite any effort pursued by monetary policy

Although GDP figure gradually improved, high quantity of electronic money created had a negative effect on inflation rate, increasing it even further to
5.2% in September 2011. Despite rise in inflation rate, the MPC continued quantitative easing (QE) programme, and in October 2011 purchased
additional ВЈ75 billion followed by ВЈ50 billion each time in February 2012 and July 2012, bringing total of purchased assets to ВЈ375 billion (BoE,

and to ensure certainty in the future by forward guidance. These new tools were successful in bring inflation rate to target and support the economic

housing prices, with the risk of creating a bubble. Second, the challenge the MPC is currently facing is how to exit QE programme without having
damaging effect on the economy and how to return to its conventional measures to maintain price stability.
Once a month the MPC sets up interest rate in order to pursue its primary objective to keep CPI inflation at the 2% target. Previously, the monetary

The Rates Of 2007-2009 And The Inflation From 2002-2007
The periods that I researched were the periods between the unemployment rates of 2007–2009 and the inflation from 2002–2007. There were many

One of the most widely recognized indicators of a recession is higher unemployment rates. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research,
"In December 2007, the national unemployment rate was 5.0 percent, and it had been at or below that rate for the previous 30 months. At the end of
the recession, in June 2009, it was 9.5 percent". Of course unemployment is based on many factors which include those who are without jobs and are
actively seeking jobs, but does not include those who are discouraged workers. Many other factors also contribute to who is termed as unemployed
civilians. A recession is a downturn in the business cycle during which real GDP declines, business profits fall, the percentage of the workforce without
jobs rises, and capacity of production is underutilized. The employment decline experienced between the 2007 and 2009 recession was greater than that
of any recession of recent decades. The construction and manufacturing industries seen the largest percentage of declines in employment between 2007
and 2009. During the recent recession financial institutions experienced a 3.9–percent reduction in employment as well. This is very uncommon and
has not been seen since the 1990s. Prior to that was 1939.

The Financial Crisis Of 2007
3.1 Background information In the words of Goodhart (2008), "the banking crisis of 2007 was seen in advance" (Goodhart, 2008). This is a result
of many different factors. To begin with, between 2001 and 2005, there were very low interest rates, particularly in China due to the Asian crisis of
the late 1990s. Because of this financial crisis, many people across Asia were saving instead of investing their money. In order to encourage people to
invest in the economy, the interest rates had to plummet to make spending more affordable. Economies exist by trading with one another and if one

Professionals say the short–term rates were too low, pulling longer–term mortgage rates down with them, Federals blame the savings glut in China.
Putting aside who is to blame, the fact remains that low interest rates were incentives for banks and hedge funds to seek riskier assets that offered
higher returns. As a result of the lower interest rates in America, the house market turned and pooling and financial engineering backfired. This caused
mortgage–backed securities to slump in value and as a result, it became difficult to sell assets at any price or use them for short–term funding (The
Economist, 2013). 3.3 Impact on Northern Rock Northern Rock used the prioritisation of mortgages to make a profit. January 2007 saw a ВЈ627m
profit (The Economist, 2007) and they quickly grew to own nearly 19% of the British mortgage market (Reed, 2007), however their heavy reliance on
wholesale funding made them vulnerable and the increased interest rates led to a slip in share prices. Knowing this, Northern Rock still increased the
dividend to its shareholders, although they were running dangerously low on cash. This meant that they were promising returns that they didn 't have
the money to pay out. The directors of Northern Rock approached the Bank of England who said it would be better to put the business up for sale,

This situation is known as "upside down" mortgage which lower the incentive for homeowners to continue to make their loan payments. As a result,
borrower default on their loan and financial institutions that distributed the loans stop receiving payments. Eventually financial institutions began to
reevaluating the riskiness of borrowers and making it difficult for borrowers to find creditors. According Eduardo Pol, the risk was shifted to the banks
through mortgage broker who created loans and sold them to the banks to securitize. (Pol, 2009).
As a result, the banking crisis was created in this movement because the mortgage agents had no incentive to evaluate the risk of the debt. Bank failures
was another major factor of the financial crisis because it had capability of creating too much money too rapidly and used it to push up houses prices
and increase the risk on financial markets. The crisis began with the credit crisis because several financial institutions issue or sold high–risk loans that
started to default. Financial institutions either do not charge sufficient interest on mortgages or consumers paid too much for the securitized loan. The
interest has to be paid on all the loans that banks make, and with the debt rising quicker than people incomes, it became difficult for people to pay their
monthly payments and eventually find themselves ended up bankrupt.

shРѕrtСЃРѕmings. The global economic crisis started in the middle of 2007 and lasted about five years. The crisis was triggered by the bursting of a
housing bubble (Mishel, Bivens, Gould, & Shierholz, 2012). It was characterized by massive withdrawal of investors from markets as a result of
reduced confidence, volatile world stock markets and reduced liquidity for banks which were unable to offer or obtain credit. Some financial
institutions were facing the risk of collapse. Governments around the world rushed to save these institutions and cushion their economies from the
economic crunch through what were popularly referred to as economic stimulus programs. This essay discuses the causes, results and exists of the
financial crisis regarding financial market, financial institution, and central bank (monetary policy) of Greece or Ireland and Europe from 2007–2009.

Banks would lend money to these prospective home buyers without checking the amount of incoming and concurrent assets that they owned in
order to see if they would be able to repay the loan. These loans were then pooled and sold off to government financial institutions such as Fannie
Mae and Freddy Mac. Slowly, the homeowners were unable to repay their loans, which forced them to either sell their homes at a lower price or
foreclose, between September 2008 and September 2012 alone, 3.8 million U.S. property owners lost their homes (Balaam, 196). This severely
increased the mortgage loss rates for both lenders and investors; it became known as the subprime mortgage crisis. Eventually, government financial
institutions whom had bought these pooled mortgages filed for bankruptcy soon after, which had a chain–effect reaction throughout the entire
economic system both in the U.S. and around the world. Thus, it created what is now known as the most recent financial crisis. The U.S. government
immediately issued emergency loans and tried to increase the money supply, they extended these emergency loans to over 700 banks in order to
incentivize home, student, auto, and small business loans (Balaam, 194). By the end of 2008 the stock market in the United States and Europe had

The Financial Crisis Of 2007-2008
The subprime financial crisis of 2007–2008 was brought on by much more than unethical traders. It consisted of multiple variables: the deterioration in
financial institutions' balance sheets, asset price decline, increase in interest rates, and an increase in market ambiguity. This in turn led to the
worsening of the adverse selection and moral hazard situation in the market, which led to a decline in economic activity, bringing forth the banking
crisis. After the banking crisis, an unanticipated drop in the price level led to the debt deflation. Thus, the factors causing for the financial crisis are as
listed: changes in assets market effects on financial institution's balance sheets, the banking crisis, an increase in market uncertainty, an increase in
interest rates, and government fiscal imbalances, and not only restricted to the unethical traders. The asset market effects of the financial crisis were
mainly driven by four different aspects: (i) the stock market decline (ii) the unanticipated decline in price level (iii) the unanticipated decline in the
value of domestic currency and (iv) asset–write downs. The decline in the stock market led to a lower net worth, where lenders became unwilling to
lend out funds. This in turn led a decline in investment and aggregate demand. The unanticipated decline in price levels led to high liabilities on the
institution's balance sheet. Since the debt contracts contain fixed nominal interest rate payments, a drop in the price

Never assume that if a person belongs to a certain group, they all hold the same preferences and beliefs, as this is not always the case. It is better to
involve the person actively and find out what their preferences are. If personal preferences are not respected, then this could not only offend the
person, but also they may avoid seeking support when they need it. Sensitivity should be exercised at all times.

People can learn practical living skills on a day–to–day basis. It is important therefore that care workers recognize opportunities and give the
appropriate support. If a person is living in a supported living environment, the opportunities to learn life skills can be effectively embedded on a
regular basis. For example, while the support workers helping the person to do their shopping use public transport or access a service such as a cinema,
there are opportunities to develop communication, organization and numeracy skills. When planning activities the support worker, with the person,

The Financial Crisis Of 2007-2008
One of the most devastating aspects of the financial crisis of 2007–2008 to middle–class America was the crash of the housing market. Millions of
Americans were affected and faced foreclosures on homes that were purchased with subprime mortgages. The impact of these mortgages varied state to
state. Nevada, one of the countries leading tourist destinations, led the market in foreclosure rates and housing appraisal drops. The government 's
false sense of security in regards to the economy and the predatory lending practices of big banks such as Bank of America, JP Morgan and Wells
Fargo, impacted the housing market negatively and ultimately led to millions of people in debt and without a home.

The Financial Crisis Of 2007-2009
The financial crisis of 2007–2009 resulted from a variety of external factors and market incentives, in combination with the housing price bubble in
the United States. When high levels of bank and consumer leverage appeared, rising consumption caused increasingly risky lending, shown in the
laxity in the standard of securities ' screening and riskier mortgages. As a consequence, the high default rate of these risky subprime mortgages
incurred the burst of the housing bubble and increased defaults. Finally, liquidity rapidly shrank in the United States, giving rise to the financial crisis
which later spread worldwide (Thakor, 2015). However, in the beginning of the era in which this chain of events took place, deregulation was widely
practiced, as the regulations and restrictions of the economic and business markets were regarded as barriers to further development (Orhangazi, 2014).
Expanded deregulation primarily influenced the factors leading to the crisis. The aim of this paper is to discuss whether or not deregulation was the
main underlying reason for the 2007/08 financial crisis. I will argue that deregulation was the underlying cause due to the fact that the most important
origins of the crisis – the explosion of financial innovation, leverage, securitisation, shadow banking and human greed – were based on deregulation.

The Second Chance Act Of 2007
Introduction
The Second Chance Act of 2007 (H.R. 1593) was signed by President George W. Bush in the year 2008. This act is also famous by the name
Community Safety through Recidivism Safety. Recidivism became a topic of focus since increasing numbers of inmates started getting let out in the
society. The key stakeholders of this act are the society at large, the inmates and especially their families (O 'Hear, 2007).
The Second Chance Act of 2007 can be quoted as
"To reauthorize the grant program for reentry of offenders into the community in the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, to improve
reentry planning and implementation, and for other purposes" (Library of Congress, 2008)
The main purpose of this act was to ensure that the juvenile and adult offenders and their families are facilitated to reenter the society. The main motive
was to increase and improve public safety and at the same time make sure that the increasing population of prison inmates getting reintroduced into
society is taken care of (Freudenberg, Daniels, Crum, Perkins, & Richie, 2005). Post the passing of legislation, there were a number of issues that were
brought up by the opposition.
One important point was why the "inmates" who had obviously committed felonies were given that many benefits. There were arguments that raised
concerns about the fact that the felons received more benefits than most of the people working with the United States Military (O 'Hear, 2007). The fact

The Financial Collapse Of 2007 / 2008
The financial collapse of 2007/2008 was due to the significance of sub–prime mortgages and mortgage–backed securities. A sub–prime mortgage is a
mortgage given to individuals who are refused prime mortgages. Whilst mortgage–backed securities is when banks securitise mortgages by pooling
them together and then selling them to investors. Investors then receive monthly interest and principal payments, whilst banks receive a fee for the
sale. In 2007/2008 those who had sub–prime mortgages were failing to keep up with principal payments, which was exacerbated by rising interest rates.
Meanwhile, subprime mortgage–backed securities decreased in value forcing banks to sell them at low prices and incur a financial loss on those
remaining. Consequently, these factors made institutions suffer with reduced demands for mortgages, declines in stock prices, falling liquidity in the
market and having to write off millions of bad debt. As a result, this started the financial crisis of 2007/2008.
Opportunity cost is a more comprehensive and important concept than accounting cost because it allows firms to calculate their implicit cost. This
illustrates to firms the value of the lost alternative and also the opportunity cost of their output goods and services. For example, a new established

Explaining the Decline of Business in 2007
At the onset of this project we came up with the claim that I could use the logarithmic and/or natural log to explain the decline in business. The
way in which this is to be accomplished is by taking all the sales figures from a 31 day period in 2007. We would then take another month with the
same 31 day period and take those figures. After graphing and comparing the two we postulate that the graphs would show the direct decline
graphically of what we will explain in this paper. After graphing the figures we saw that the mathematical model that we had previously used would

supplier and provide them with organic and fair trade capabilities as well as increase manufacturing technologies. Not only will this help give Rogers'

The Financial Crisis Of 2007-08
The definitive event of the early twenty–first century was The Financial Crisis of 2007–08. Since that event, scholars have tried to identify what the
causes and the effects of the crisis. The causes and effects of the collapse are varied and many scholars show a consensus about what these causes and
effects are. Scholars who researched The Financial Crisis of 2007–08 agree that bank deregulation starting in the early 1970's a major contributor. The
deregulation allowed for banks to increase in size by absorbing subsidiaries and allowed for banks to take more risks. Matthew Sherman dictates,

K. Sabeel Rahman contends "As a substantive policy, the Glass–Steagall Act's separation of commercial and investment banking was seen as crucial to
preventing abuse by financial firms in selling securities". (Rahman 627). The idea behind stopping commercial and investment bank mergers was to
avoid conflicts of interests that could cause harm to the consumer and potentially wreak the financial system. Rahman continues, "Thus the primary
arguments in favor of Glass–Steagall revolved around the need to curb conflicts of interest" (Rahman 629). Glass–Steagall was successful as it stopped
banks from taking depositor money and using that money to buy securities and other financial instruments and then turning around and marketing those
assets to consumers as well as their own depositors.
Other scholars, like Janice McClendon, point out that investment banks would create securities that were based of other basic assets that originated at
the commercial bank. Two such securities that were core to the crisis weremortgage–backed securities (MBSs) and collateralized debt obligations
(CDOs). Janice McClendon contends, "The underpinnings of the global financial crisis can be traced back to the development of primary and

situation of the 2007–2008 global financial crisis many culprits have been identified as causes, such as loose monetary policy, credit booms,

Generally homeowners were required to meet certain qualifications in order to borrow funds for mortgages, also known as prime mortgages. Since the
prime mortgage market had receded, lenders were encouraged to lower their requirements for lending and began to allow subprime mortgages. These
less responsible homeowners began to default on their mortgages, which turned investment bankers' stream of mortgage payments into empty houses.
Increases in foreclosures raise the supply of available houses, which lowers the fair market values of houses. The prime mortgage homeowners were left
with houses that were highly devalued relative to their mortgages and began to abandon their mortgage obligations. Mortgage lenders, investment
bankers, and outside investors froze their activities, as they faced possible bankruptcy.
Regulatory/Supervisory Inadequacies Deregulation is believed to be the underlying cause of all economic downturns, as its scope of responsibility

American agriculture greatly changed during 1865 to 1900 through technological advances and railroads spreading across the nation, both modernizing
agriculture. New technological advances made farming easier with new inventions such as barbed wire and reapers. However, new technology
advancements became too expensive for average American farmers to afford. Economic conditions became intolerable for farmers as railroad
companies charged high shipping rates. In the government, policies were made that favored big corporations, such as railroad companies over the small
farmers that made agriculture suffer in the end. Technology, government policies, and economic conditions, effectively declined agriculture due to

Other than overproduction, another economic issue that drastically effected farmers was the Panic of 1893 that left millions of Americans
unemployed, hungry, and homeless. In Susan Orcutt's leter to Lorenzo D. Lewelling, she states, "I had the prettiest garden that you ever seen and the
hail ruined it and I have nothing to look at my husband went a way to find work and came home last night and told me that would have to Starve he

systems that developed from it only led to the downfall of farmers.
The booming industry also changed agriculture by creating monopolies where they only gained substantial wealth leaving farmers with nothing. This
shows how government policies usually favored policies that supported large corporations consequently leaving farmers to suffer. For example the
expansion of railroads would not have been possible without huge subsidies and land grants from the government. The Pacific Railroad Way Act of
1862 may have contributed the most to the expansion of railroads, as the act had provided huge land grants and subsidies to help build railroads. As
mentioned earlier with the invention of the railroad came the invention of shipping costs which farmers were very dissatisfied with. To explain further,

The Mortgage Crisis Of 2007
The mortgage crisis of 2007 marked catastrophe for millions of homeowners who suffered from foreclosure and short sales. Most of the problems
involving the foreclosing of families' homes could boil down to risky borrowing and lending. Lenders were pushed to ensure families would be
eligible for a loan, when in previous years the same families would have been deemed too high–risk to obtain any kind of loan. With the increase in
high–risk families obtaining loans, there was a huge increase in home buyers and subsequently a rapid increase in home prices. As a result, prices
peaked and then began falling just as fast as they rose. Soon after families began to default on their mortgages forcing them either into foreclosure or
short sales. Who was to blame for the risky lending and borrowing that caused the mortgage meltdown? Many might blame the company Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac, but in reality the entire system of buying and selling and free market failed home owners and the housing economy. However,
hope might be on the horizon for the victims of the mortgage disaster of 2007/2008. Home buyers who were foreclosed upon years ago, or
boomerang buyers, are beginning to be eligible to buy homes again. While some feel hope after feeling bamboozled by lenders and Fannie Mae and
Freddie Mac, some feel anxious and fearful of the thought of buying again. Yet there are lessons that have been learned by the mortgage meltdown.

An excess of regulation, rather than an insufficiency of it, was the principal cause of the recent credit crunch. The financial crisis of 2007–2008, also
known as the Global Financial Crisis and 2008 financial crisis, is considered by some economists such as Nouriel Roubini, professor of economics
and international business at New York University, Kenneth Rogoff, professor of economics and public policy at Harvard University, and Nariman
Behravesh, chief economist and executive vice president for IHS Global Insight, to have been the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression
of the 1930s. All of them agreed that this is a "one in fifty years event", however the latest Great Recession is not a typical cyclical recession of the
World Economy and no doubt will last for more that usual two years (Business Wire, Reuters). The crisis played a significant role in the failure of key
businesses, declines in consumer wealth estimated in trillions of U.S. dollars, and a downturn in economic activity leading to the 2008–2012 global
recession and contributing to the European sovereign–debt crisis. (M. N. Baily, D. J. Elliott, 2009). So what are the cР°uses of this crisis? MР°ny

The Financial Crisis Of 2007 Essay
Seven billion people affected. How can a single screw up lead to a mess that not even governments can fix? How can something so severe continue
to damage countries financially 5 years after it began? Many people didn't see it coming. But what's worse is that the people that did see it coming,
contributed to it. Yes. They fueled this mess. And now we can't get out of it. This is the financial crisis of 2007 . Let's dig in to where it all began. The
subprime mortgage crisis was a result of mortgage brokers selling mortgage products to people with terrible credit, no down payments for the house, no
stable income into the home, and basically no nothing instead of selling it to responsible people who they knew would not default on their mortgage.
(Let's call the reliable homeowners prime and the unreliable ones sub–prime for times sake). They would give out home mortgages to everyone
knowing that they wouldn't be responsible for the mortgage that they give out, but that they would be able to sell them to investment bankers, who
would then sell them to investors, hedge funds, etc or at least be left with a house as housing prices always rise. But let's start from the beginning of
how this whole mess started. So Wall St. hatched an idea to connect investors to home owners through mortgages. A family decides that they want to
purchase a house so they save up for a down payment and then contact a mortgage broker who connects them to a mortgage lender who sells them a

was that they confronted declining interest for their products. The organizations thought that it was hard to acquire reserves, in light of the fact that the
banks' trust in them had declined. Moreover, the organizations confronted solid rivalry from outside organizations. The likelihood of bankruptcy

The Financial Crisis of 2007-2008
The financial crisis of 2007–2008 had more sounding effects on financial institutions even greater than the crisis brought about by the stocks
downfall in the 1990's. The reason for this is that the financial institutions were at the centre of the whole crisis. And financial institutions being one
of the key pillars in a country's economy, the crisis was bound to have a big effect in US as a whole. So, in order to understand what rely happened,
it is wise to go through the paper written by Nicholas Barberis about the whole crisis (Barberis, 2011). The common feeling about the whole crisis
according to Nicholas Barberis was that there was a real estate 'bubble'; for various reasons houses prices had hit a high mark by 2006. Now several
theories have been delivered as people try to find an explanation to this. Of the most used explanation, people believe that rise house price labelled
real estate a very lucrative business thus investors flooded to banks to ask sublime loans as they were sure returns were very high even to cover the
high loan interest (Barberis, 2011).
According to Nicholas, the one model that is useful to explaining the behaviour of real estate during that time is the 'belief based model'. The basis of
the model is that people tend to have the mentality that a trend in the past will continue in the future, and thus they end up making big decisions based
on that belief. Applying this model, Nicholas explains that home buyers may have seen the rising

The financial crisis of 2007 arose when banks, such as HSBC announced losses due to mortgages in the US housing market (BBC News – Global

Reasons for Banks Failure
The financial crisis of 2007 is well thought off by numerous economists to have been the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression of the
1930s. Mortgage is one of the reasons why the bank crisis occurred. The banking crisis happened because the mortgages broker had no encouragement
to determine the risk of the loans (imf.org, 2016). They were long–term loans expressed by the Bank or Building Society from depositor properties
protected on physical asset. The risk is estimated on foundation of house owner's capability to pay the allowance such as job prospects etc. The idiom

The Financial Crisis Of 2007-08
The financial crisis of 2007–08, also known as the Global Financial Crisis, is considered by many economists to have been the worst financial crisis
since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Mr. Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve at the time, believed it was equally problematic in many
ways; although unemployment only reached half the level due to the Fed's actions combined with a $700B stimulus. It collapsed large financial
institutions, and stock markets dropped to half their pre–crisis level. The surface cause was the bursting of the U.S. housing bubble, which had peaked
in 2004, caused the values of securities tied to U.S. real estate pricing to plummet, damaging financial institutions globally.
Several factors lead to the 2008 financial crisis. First, the 1999 repeal of the Glass–Steagall Act effectively removed the separation between investment
banks and depository banks in the United States. Second, credit rating agencies failed to accurately price the risk involved with mortgage–related
financial products. Third, the Government, concerned with not performing economically as well as the Clinton administration believed increasing
home ownership was the answer and reduced regulatory obstacles (like loan income/debt documentation). Forth, the world 's insurance companies
began insuring bundled mortgage instruments. Fifth, there was excessive investment leverage, especially in the Banks and venture capital

2007/09 Financial Crisis
Risk management is a critical issue as all institutions, financial and non–financial, are laden with huge degree of uncertainty. The role of risk
management is to help a firm assess the risks that it faces, communicate these risks to the managers of the firm who make decisions concerning risks
and manages those risks to ensure that the firm only bears the risks that are within its risk appetite and tolerance. Some risk analysts employ the use of
statistical distributions and the correlation among them to aid corporate decision makers on matters concerning risk. However, since the financial
crisis, there has been almost a general agreement among financial regulators that flaws in risk management played a major role in worsening the crisis.
According to an investigation done by Dr. Simon Ashby in an article, "The 2007/09 Financial Crisis: Learning the risk management lessons",
interviews conducted with about 20 senior risk management officials' show a common theme among their responses. Majority of them believe that
some financial institutions did not properly implement risk management that were aligned with accepted good practices and too much trust was placed

In the 1930s the United States was hit by far the worst financial crisis that it has ever encountered, which was called The Great Depression, but the
second worst was not that long ago. During the Financial Crisis of 2007–2009 the United States had a chain of banking failures and a tremendous
growth of liability in the federal budget. However, the government had stepped in to prevent some of these failures and through this the concept of
"Too Big To Fail" was created.
"Too Big To Fail" is a concept where a business or financial institution has become so large and embedded in the nations economy that it would cause
a tragic effect if it were to fail. However, a government will deliver support and guidance to prevent theses fine businesses and financial institutions
from failure. If one of these businesses or financial institutions were to fail it would cause a catastrophic ripple effect throughout the economy. If
company that is considered a "too big to fail" company has problems within the company or from outside the company the government will be lured
into saving it through a bailout or by a guarantee of specific loans or if a private company will arise and take over the company. Government bailouts
might help the company continue their services; however, various counterparties think that government bailouts or intervention with the failing
company is counterproductive and should simply be allowed to fail.

unemployment leads to decreased inflation (Arnold, 2010). Many people become jobless as the banks and other financial institutions started focusing

  • 3. 2007-2009 Financial Crisis Almost 10 years after the Financial Crisis of 2007–2009, a great deal of confusion and doubt still lies within the minds of the people who were affected by the crisis' overwhelming toll. The financial crisis is still considered relevant in the world's economy today not only because $16 dollars vanished from the financial system, but also the financial recovery from the crisis is still in progress (Lam, NPR). There are multiple reasons to why the Financial Crisis of 2007–2009 came into effect. However, the most identifiable origin for the cause of the financial crisis was the financiers of the economy themselves. At the time of the crisis, the financiers of Wall St. believed to have eliminated most of their risk within the economy, when in fact the financiers had only lost track of their risk. The Financial Crisis of 2007–2009 came into effect due to the burst of the United States real estate bubble as well as the failed oversight of total risk in the economy by big bank financiers. When looking back and analyzing the causes of the Financial Crisis of 2007–2009, one can find themselves first analyzing the United States real estate industry.

  • 5. The Financial Crisis Of 2007-08 Several factors lead to the 2008 financial crisis. The 1999 repeal of the Glass–Steagall Act effectively removed the separation between investment banks and depository banks in the United States. Credit rating agencies failed to price the risk involved with mortgage–related financial products accurately. The Government, concerned with not performing economically as well as the Clinton administration believed increasing home ownership was the answer and reduced obstacles (like loan income/debt documentation). The world 's insurance companies began insuring mortgage instruments. Excessive investment leverage, especially in the Banks and venture capitalist communities. And the Government did not adjust their regulatory practices to address 21st–century financial markets– especially in credit default swaps (CDS). These factors set the stage for disaster and greedy speculators wanting to short the housing market triggered it by systematically exposing the mortgage risks to the world. The financial crisis of 2007–08, also known as the Global Financial Crisis, is considered by many economists to have been the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Mr. Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve at the time, believed it was equally problematic in many ways; although unemployment only reached half the level due to the Fed's actions combined with a $700B stimulus. It collapsed large financial institutions, and stock markets dropped to half their ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. The Financial Crisis Of 2007 / 2008 The financial crisis of 2007/2008 had a negative impact on the UK economy, resulting in low growth and high level of unemployment while inflation constantly remained above the 2% target. In those extraordinary circumstances focus of monetary policy had to be on growth rather than reaching inflation target, resulting in gradual reduction of the Bank rate from 5.75% in middle of 2007 to its lowest level of 0.5% in the beginning of 2009 (BoE, 2014). Although, a low interest rate led to significant depreciation of sterling, a tightening policy at that time would be a major mistake, that could lead to deflation and depression, rather than recovery and inflation around target (Fisher, 2014). Despite any effort pursued by monetary policy there ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Although GDP figure gradually improved, high quantity of electronic money created had a negative effect on inflation rate, increasing it even further to 5.2% in September 2011. Despite rise in inflation rate, the MPC continued quantitative easing (QE) programme, and in October 2011 purchased additional ВЈ75 billion followed by ВЈ50 billion each time in February 2012 and July 2012, bringing total of purchased assets to ВЈ375 billion (BoE, 2014). To improve credit conditions and incentivise borrowing QE was supplemented with newly introduced the Funding for Lending Scheme (FLS), and to ensure certainty in the future by forward guidance. These new tools were successful in bring inflation rate to target and support the economic policy to stimulate growth and employment, however, there is downside. First, low interest rates had a significant impact on assets prices, particularly housing prices, with the risk of creating a bubble. Second, the challenge the MPC is currently facing is how to exit QE programme without having damaging effect on the economy and how to return to its conventional measures to maintain price stability. Once a month the MPC sets up interest rate in order to pursue its primary objective to keep CPI inflation at the 2% target. Previously, the monetary supply was adjusted through open market operations, although this function is no longer in use.

There were many causes to the inflation in the 2002–2007. Similarly, there were quite a few causes to the unemployment rate of 2007–2009. The business cycle looks like a roller coaster. It begins at a peak, drops to a bottom, climbs steeply, and then reaches another peak. Through a typicalbusiness cycle there is an increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time which leads to inflation. There are also decreases in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. A peak in the business cycle is a temporary high point. A macro... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... One of the most widely recognized indicators of a recession is higher unemployment rates. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, "In December 2007, the national unemployment rate was 5.0 percent, and it had been at or below that rate for the previous 30 months. At the end of the recession, in June 2009, it was 9.5 percent". Of course unemployment is based on many factors which include those who are without jobs and are actively seeking jobs, but does not include those who are discouraged workers. Many other factors also contribute to who is termed as unemployed civilians. A recession is a downturn in the business cycle during which real GDP declines, business profits fall, the percentage of the workforce without jobs rises, and capacity of production is underutilized. The employment decline experienced between the 2007 and 2009 recession was greater than that of any recession of recent decades. The construction and manufacturing industries seen the largest percentage of declines in employment between 2007 and 2009. During the recent recession financial institutions experienced a 3.9–percent reduction in employment as well. This is very uncommon and has not been seen since the 1990s. Prior to that was 1939.

  • 8. The Financial Crisis Of 2007 3.1 Background information In the words of Goodhart (2008), "the banking crisis of 2007 was seen in advance" (Goodhart, 2008). This is a result of many different factors. To begin with, between 2001 and 2005, there were very low interest rates, particularly in China due to the Asian crisis of the late 1990s. Because of this financial crisis, many people across Asia were saving instead of investing their money. In order to encourage people to invest in the economy, the interest rates had to plummet to make spending more affordable. Economies exist by trading with one another and if one economy isn 't doing so well, this effects economies worldwide and the USA began to worry about price deflation. During this period, developed countries... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Professionals say the short–term rates were too low, pulling longer–term mortgage rates down with them, Federals blame the savings glut in China. Putting aside who is to blame, the fact remains that low interest rates were incentives for banks and hedge funds to seek riskier assets that offered higher returns. As a result of the lower interest rates in America, the house market turned and pooling and financial engineering backfired. This caused mortgage–backed securities to slump in value and as a result, it became difficult to sell assets at any price or use them for short–term funding (The Economist, 2013). 3.3 Impact on Northern Rock Northern Rock used the prioritisation of mortgages to make a profit. January 2007 saw a ВЈ627m profit (The Economist, 2007) and they quickly grew to own nearly 19% of the British mortgage market (Reed, 2007), however their heavy reliance on wholesale funding made them vulnerable and the increased interest rates led to a slip in share prices. Knowing this, Northern Rock still increased the dividend to its shareholders, although they were running dangerously low on cash. This meant that they were promising returns that they didn 't have the money to pay out. The directors of Northern Rock approached the Bank of England who said it would be better to put the business up for sale, however, there were no investors to buy it so the Central Bank had to offer emergency ...

  • 9. The Financial Crisis Of 2007-2008 Define: Introduction The Financial Crisis of 2007–2008 was considered to be the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression in the decade preceding World War II. The Global Financial Crisis threatened large range of the financial organizations. Although the central banks and other banks were trying to keep away from the crisis, the stock market still suffered a huge decline internationally. Other than the global stock market, the house market was also influenced greatly, causing the unemployment, relocation and even the foreclosures. There was absolutely no doubt that the 2007/8 financial crisis brought failure and hard time to the business all over the world, especially the capitalist counties in North America and Europe. Many factors had been discussed to be directly and indirectly caused the Great Recession in 2007 to 2008. After some deep analyses done by the economists and experts, the developed country household debt with the Real estate bubble caused by the low tax lending standards, was the most public belief that people considered as the major cause of the financial crisis. But, who and what was going to be responsible for The Financial Crisis of 2007–2008? Who and What? Who and what should take the responsibility to the Financial Crisis of 2007/8 had been talked for a while in the economy.

Some of world's greatest managed financial institutions went bankrupt and were striving for a bail out which led to government intervention to prevent a significant recession. In 2007, United State experienced one of the worst financial crisis since the Great depression of 1930s.

This situation is known as "upside down" mortgage which lower the incentive for homeowners to continue to make their loan payments. As a result, borrower default on their loan and financial institutions that distributed the loans stop receiving payments. Eventually financial institutions began to reevaluating the riskiness of borrowers and making it difficult for borrowers to find creditors. According Eduardo Pol, the risk was shifted to the banks through mortgage broker who created loans and sold them to the banks to securitize. (Pol, 2009). As a result, the banking crisis was created in this movement because the mortgage agents had no incentive to evaluate the risk of the debt. Bank failures was another major factor of the financial crisis because it had capability of creating too much money too rapidly and used it to push up houses prices and increase the risk on financial markets. The crisis began with the credit crisis because several financial institutions issue or sold high–risk loans that started to default. Financial institutions either do not charge sufficient interest on mortgages or consumers paid too much for the securitized loan. The interest has to be paid on all the loans that banks make, and with the debt rising quicker than people incomes, it became difficult for people to pay their monthly payments and eventually find themselves ended up bankrupt.

  • 11. The Global Economic Crisis Of The Middle Of 2007 And... Introduction The finР°nСЃiР°l crisis of 2007/2008 was not Р° СЃР°sРµ of markets failing. Instеаd, it shows how markets ultimately rесtify their internal shРѕrtСЃРѕmings. The global economic crisis started in the middle of 2007 and lasted about five years. The crisis was triggered by the bursting of a housing bubble (Mishel, Bivens, Gould, & Shierholz, 2012). It was characterized by massive withdrawal of investors from markets as a result of reduced confidence, volatile world stock markets and reduced liquidity for banks which were unable to offer or obtain credit. Some financial institutions were facing the risk of collapse. Governments around the world rushed to save these institutions and cushion their economies from the economic crunch through what were popularly referred to as economic stimulus programs. This essay discuses the causes, results and exists of the financial crisis regarding financial market, financial institution, and central bank (monetary policy) of Greece or Ireland and Europe from 2007–2009. Causes of the Financial Crisis A country's trade balance depicts differences in income generation and domestic consumption. If a country's imports value exceeds its exports value, it means that the country is 'living beyond its means'. To make up for the excess spending, the country must borrow funds from abroad. Similarly, if finance investment spending exceeds domestic saving, foreign savings must be spent to fill the deficit. The amount of money a country borrows is ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Banks would lend money to these prospective home buyers without checking the amount of incoming and concurrent assets that they owned in order to see if they would be able to repay the loan. These loans were then pooled and sold off to government financial institutions such as Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. Slowly, the homeowners were unable to repay their loans, which forced them to either sell their homes at a lower price or foreclose, between September 2008 and September 2012 alone, 3.8 million U.S. property owners lost their homes (Balaam, 196). This severely increased the mortgage loss rates for both lenders and investors; it became known as the subprime mortgage crisis. Eventually, government financial institutions whom had bought these pooled mortgages filed for bankruptcy soon after, which had a chain–effect reaction throughout the entire economic system both in the U.S. and around the world. Thus, it created what is now known as the most recent financial crisis.

  • 13. The Financial Crisis Of 2007-2008 The subprime financial crisis of 2007–2008 was brought on by much more than unethical traders. It consisted of multiple variables: the deterioration in financial institutions' balance sheets, asset price decline, increase in interest rates, and an increase in market ambiguity. This in turn led to the worsening of the adverse selection and moral hazard situation in the market, which led to a decline in economic activity, bringing forth the banking crisis. After the banking crisis, an unanticipated drop in the price level led to the debt deflation. Thus, the factors causing for the financial crisis are as listed: changes in assets market effects on financial institution's balance sheets, the banking crisis, an increase in market uncertainty, an increase in interest rates, and government fiscal imbalances, and not only restricted to the unethical traders. The asset market effects of the financial crisis were mainly driven by four different aspects: (i) the stock market decline (ii) the unanticipated decline in price level (iii) the unanticipated decline in the value of domestic currency and (iv) asset–write downs. The decline in the stock market led to a lower net worth, where lenders became unwilling to lend out funds. This in turn led a decline in investment and aggregate demand. The unanticipated decline in price levels led to high liabilities on the institution's balance sheet. Since the debt contracts contain fixed nominal interest rate payments, a drop in the price ...

Nevada, one of the countries leading tourist destinations, led the market in foreclosure rates and housing appraisal drops.

  • 17. The Financial Crisis Of 2007-2009 The financial crisis of 2007–2009 resulted from a variety of external factors and market incentives, in combination with the housing price bubble in the United States. When high levels of bank and consumer leverage appeared, rising consumption caused increasingly risky lending, shown in the laxity in the standard of securities ' screening and riskier mortgages. As a consequence, the high default rate of these risky subprime mortgages incurred the burst of the housing bubble and increased defaults. Finally, liquidity rapidly shrank in the United States, giving rise to the financial crisis which later spread worldwide (Thakor, 2015). However, in the beginning of the era in which this chain of events took place, deregulation was widely practiced, as the regulations and restrictions of the economic and business markets were regarded as barriers to further development (Orhangazi, 2014). Expanded deregulation primarily influenced the factors leading to the crisis. The aim of this paper is to discuss whether or not deregulation was the main underlying reason for the 2007/08 financial crisis. I will argue that deregulation was the underlying cause due to the fact that the most important origins of the crisis – the explosion of financial innovation, leverage, securitisation, shadow banking and human greed – were based on deregulation.

This act is also famous by the name Community Safety through Recidivism Safety. Recidivism became a topic of focus since increasing numbers of inmates started getting let out in the society. The key stakeholders of this act are the society at large, the inmates and especially their families (O 'Hear, 2007). The Second Chance Act of 2007 can be quoted as "To reauthorize the grant program for reentry of offenders into the community in the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, to improve reentry planning and implementation, and for other purposes" (Library of Congress, 2008) The main purpose of this act was to ensure that the juvenile and adult offenders and their families are facilitated to reenter the society. The main motive was to increase and improve public safety and at the same time make sure that the increasing population of prison inmates getting reintroduced into society is taken care of (Freudenberg, Daniels, Crum, Perkins, & Richie, 2005). Post the passing of legislation, there were a number of issues that were brought up by the opposition. One important point was why the "inmates" who had obviously committed felonies were given that many benefits.

  • 20. The Financial Collapse Of 2007 / 2008 The financial collapse of 2007/2008 was due to the significance of sub–prime mortgages and mortgage–backed securities. A sub–prime mortgage is a mortgage given to individuals who are refused prime mortgages. Whilst mortgage–backed securities is when banks securitise mortgages by pooling them together and then selling them to investors. Investors then receive monthly interest and principal payments, whilst banks receive a fee for the sale. In 2007/2008 those who had sub–prime mortgages were failing to keep up with principal payments, which was exacerbated by rising interest rates. Meanwhile, subprime mortgage–backed securities decreased in value forcing banks to sell them at low prices and incur a financial loss on those remaining. Consequently, these factors made institutions suffer with reduced demands for mortgages, declines in stock prices, falling liquidity in the market and having to write off millions of bad debt. As a result, this started the financial crisis of 2007/2008. Opportunity cost is a more comprehensive and important concept than accounting cost because it allows firms to calculate their implicit cost. This illustrates to firms the value of the lost alternative and also the opportunity cost of their output goods and services.

  • 21. Explaining the Decline of Business in 2007 At the onset of this project we came up with the claim that I could use the logarithmic and/or natural log to explain the decline in business. The way in which this is to be accomplished is by taking all the sales figures from a 31 day period in 2007. We would then take another month with the same 31 day period and take those figures. After graphing and comparing the two we postulate that the graphs would show the direct decline graphically of what we will explain in this paper. After graphing the figures we saw that the mathematical model that we had previously used would not be adequate with the explanation. So we then did another 31 day comparative between a 31 day period in 2007. Then again in 2013. These figures were then compared to the national average for hotels for the same period. The interesting fact that came about was the direct correlation between the falls in sales figures both nationally and here in south Florida and the corresponding securitization and real estate bubble burst. What we will do in the following pages is explain what led up to the bubble burst as well as some of the mathematical approaches in explaining the bursts.

Sabeel Rahman contends "As a substantive policy, the Glass–Steagall Act's separation of commercial and investment banking was seen as crucial to preventing abuse by financial firms in selling securities".

Rahman continues, "Thus the primary arguments in favor of Glass–Steagall revolved around the need to curb conflicts of interest" (Rahman 629). Glass–Steagall was successful as it stopped banks from taking depositor money and using that money to buy securities and other financial instruments and then turning around and marketing those assets to consumers as well as their own depositors. Other scholars, like Janice McClendon, point out that investment banks would create securities that were based of other basic assets that originated at the commercial bank.

Since the prime mortgage market had receded, lenders were encouraged to lower their requirements for lending and began to allow subprime mortgages. These less responsible homeowners began to default on their mortgages, which turned investment bankers' stream of mortgage payments into empty houses. Increases in foreclosures raise the supply of available houses, which lowers the fair market values of houses. The prime mortgage homeowners were left with houses that were highly devalued relative to their mortgages and began to abandon their mortgage obligations.

  • 26. The Mortgage Crisis Of 2007 The mortgage crisis of 2007 marked catastrophe for millions of homeowners who suffered from foreclosure and short sales. Most of the problems involving the foreclosing of families' homes could boil down to risky borrowing and lending. Lenders were pushed to ensure families would be eligible for a loan, when in previous years the same families would have been deemed too high–risk to obtain any kind of loan. With the increase in high–risk families obtaining loans, there was a huge increase in home buyers and subsequently a rapid increase in home prices. As a result, prices peaked and then began falling just as fast as they rose. Soon after families began to default on their mortgages forcing them either into foreclosure or short sales. Who was to blame for the risky lending and borrowing that caused the mortgage meltdown?

All of them agreed that this is a "one in fifty years event", however the latest Great Recession is not a typical cyclical recession of the World Economy and no doubt will last for more that usual two years (Business Wire, Reuters).

But what's worse is that the people that did see it coming, contributed to it. Yes. They fueled this mess. And now we can't get out of it. This is the financial crisis of 2007 . Let's dig in to where it all began. The subprime mortgage crisis was a result of mortgage brokers selling mortgage products to people with terrible credit, no down payments for the house, no stable income into the home, and basically no nothing instead of selling it to responsible people who they knew would not default on their mortgage. (Let's call the reliable homeowners prime and the unreliable ones sub–prime for times sake). They would give out home mortgages to everyone knowing that they wouldn't be responsible for the mortgage that they give out, but that they would be able to sell them to investment bankers, who would then sell them to investors, hedge funds, etc or at least be left with a house as housing prices always rise. But let's start from the beginning of how this whole mess started. So Wall St. hatched an idea to connect investors to home owners through mortgages.

  • 32. The Financial Crisis Of 2007 Introduction The financial crisis of 2007 arose when banks, such as HSBC announced losses due to mortgages in the US housing market (BBC News – Global recession timeline, 2016). The crisis had a global impact as financial systems are interconnected. This crisis had huge impacts in many countries. In fact, in 2009, the UK Chancellor, Alistair Darling announced that the UK had a record debt of ВЈ175 billion (BBC NEWS | UK | UK Politics | Tax rise as UK debt hits record, 2016). This report will analyze this Financial Crisis. Firstly, the reasons for which the banks failed will be discussed and the future of such failing banks will then be analyzed. This report will then examine how to avoid a similar crisis in the future and the current and future legal regulations of the banking system. Reasons for Banks Failure The financial crisis of 2007 is well thought off by numerous economists to have been the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Mortgage is one of the reasons why the bank crisis occurred. The banking crisis happened because the mortgages broker had no encouragement to determine the risk of the loans (imf.org, 2016). They were long–term loans expressed by the Bank or Building Society from depositor properties protected on physical asset. The risk is estimated on foundation of house owner's capability to pay the allowance such as job prospects etc. The idiom Big Bang, used in reference to the unexpected deregulation of financial ...

  • 33. The Financial Crisis Of 2007-08 The financial crisis of 2007–08, also known as the Global Financial Crisis, is considered by many economists to have been the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Mr. Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve at the time, believed it was equally problematic in many ways; although unemployment only reached half the level due to the Fed's actions combined with a $700B stimulus. It collapsed large financial institutions, and stock markets dropped to half their pre–crisis level. The surface cause was the bursting of the U.S. housing bubble, which had peaked in 2004, caused the values of securities tied to U.S. real estate pricing to plummet, damaging financial institutions globally. Several factors lead to the 2008 financial crisis. First, the 1999 repeal of the Glass–Steagall Act effectively removed the separation between investment banks and depository banks in the United States. Second, credit rating agencies failed to accurately price the risk involved with mortgage–related financial products. Third, the Government, concerned with not performing economically as well as the Clinton administration believed increasing home ownership was the answer and reduced regulatory obstacles (like loan income/debt documentation). Forth, the world 's insurance companies began insuring bundled mortgage instruments. Fifth, there was excessive investment leverage, especially in the Banks and venture capital communities. Sixth, the Government did not adjust ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 34. 2007/09 Financial Crisis Risk management is a critical issue as all institutions, financial and non–financial, are laden with huge degree of uncertainty. The role of risk management is to help a firm assess the risks that it faces, communicate these risks to the managers of the firm who make decisions concerning risks and manages those risks to ensure that the firm only bears the risks that are within its risk appetite and tolerance. Some risk analysts employ the use of statistical distributions and the correlation among them to aid corporate decision makers on matters concerning risk. However, since the financial crisis, there has been almost a general agreement among financial regulators that flaws in risk management played a major role in worsening the crisis. According to an investigation done by Dr. Simon Ashby in an article, "The 2007/09 Financial Crisis: Learning the risk management lessons", interviews conducted with about 20 senior risk management officials' show a common theme among their responses. Majority of them believe that some financial institutions did not properly implement risk management that were aligned with accepted good practices and too much trust was placed in ...

The decline in favor of quantitative methods has caused cynics to suggest that risk management should involve more than just measuring risk and should include qualitative approaches. Their argument is that qualitative approaches would help managers to see how a good project can turn bad and how their firms would fare under different scenarios.2 Despite the decline in the use of quantitative risk analysis, it is still important to note that risks still exists and risk management has a valuable function to companies. The question that should pose company officials is, "how can a company make its risk management function become more effectual and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

And secondly the members who are net–contributers to the Community budget wish the level of budgetary expenditures to stay the same since there has not yet been an agreement on a financing system which is more fair.(Mayhem 2000, p.7) This keeps the costs of enlargement relatively cheap for the EU in terms of finances but the economic weaknesss of the acceding members may be wrongly assesed and insufficiently supported.(Baltas 2004, p.147) If we look at the economic structures of the new member states we find that they contribute a large but rather inefficient agricutural sector: "In total, enlargement to the CEECs will more than double the size of the EU 's agricultural labour force, increase its agricutural area by about a half, but raise its output by about only 12 percent"(Nugent 2004, p.14) The problem here is similar to that facing cohesion funding and so is the solution. Common Agricultural Policy(CAP) support was to be gradually phased–in up to 2013. The change in the agricultural sector induced by the new member states is one of the reasons why there have been debates on agricultural reform and it will be a key issue in the enlarged EU.

  • 36. The Financial Crisis of 2007-2009 In the 1930s the United States was hit by far the worst financial crisis that it has ever encountered, which was called The Great Depression, but the second worst was not that long ago. During the Financial Crisis of 2007–2009 the United States had a chain of banking failures and a tremendous growth of liability in the federal budget. However, the government had stepped in to prevent some of these failures and through this the concept of "Too Big To Fail" was created. "Too Big To Fail" is a concept where a business or financial institution has become so large and embedded in the nations economy that it would cause a tragic effect if it were to fail. However, a government will deliver support and guidance to prevent theses fine businesses and financial institutions from failure. If one of these businesses or financial institutions were to fail it would cause a catastrophic ripple effect throughout the economy. If company that is considered a "too big to fail" company has problems within the company or from outside the company the government will be lured into saving it through a bailout or by a guarantee of specific loans or if a private company will arise and take over the company. Government bailouts might help the company continue their services; however, various counterparties think that government bailouts or intervention with the failing company is counterproductive and should simply be allowed to fail.

Moreover, during 2007–8, many financial institutions lower credit standards to accommodate the large demand for loans securities with an ill intention to create huge profits to share which greatly became a source for the economic recession during the 2007–8 err.
