It also summarizes the 1974 Herstatt Bank crisis in Germany, the causes of the crisis, early warnings signs, responses from regulators, and international consequences. The Herstatt Bank collapsed on June 26, 1974 due to settlement risk in foreign exchange dealings. This highlighted the need for international regulatory reform.
