Golobal Financial Crisis

Mohammad Yunus, MD, FACP

The global financial crisis began in 2007 due to excessive government spending on wars, which increased public debt beyond $4 trillion between 2002-2008. This overburdened the US financial system. The collapse of the real estate market and mortgage institutions like Fannie Mae further deteriorated the crisis. Structural issues that exacerbated the crisis included speculation, quick profit-seeking behaviors, a shift to unproductive financial sectors, dependence on interest-based loans, securitization, and debt trading. Short-term solutions proposed propping up failing banks and stimulating the economy. Long-term solutions suggested new financial regulations and oversight, restricting speculative transactions, limiting securitization, and banning debt trading. Islamic finance principles prohibit interest and promote equity-based

Financial crisis

Manoj Singh

This document discusses the causes and effects of financial crises and potential reforms. It outlines several types of financial crises including banking crises, economic crises, capital market bubbles, and currency crises. Some of the key causes mentioned are strategic complementarities in financial markets, leverage, and asset-liability mismatches. The document also discusses some reforms that could help stabilize financial systems such as restructuring regulations, improving corporate governance, and strengthening legal infrastructure.

The Financial Crisis- paper

Philippe De Smit

The document provides a summary of the key causes and events of the global financial crisis that began in 2007-2008. It discusses how a decline in lending standards and rising housing prices in the US encouraged many homeowners to take on difficult mortgages. Once housing prices dropped and interest rates rose, defaults and foreclosures increased dramatically. US banks had repackaged risky mortgages into complex financial products that were distributed globally, spreading risk throughout the financial system and making the effects of the crisis global in scale. The document outlines several major events such as the failures of Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers that accelerated the crisis.

Financial crisis

Mudassara

The financial crisis of 2007-2008 was considered the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. It threatened the collapse of major financial institutions and led to a global recession. Stock markets and housing markets declined worldwide. The crisis played a role in business failures, declines in consumer wealth estimated in trillions of dollars, and economic downturn. Banking crises occurred when banks faced runs from depositors. Currency crises happened when countries were forced to devalue currencies. The U.S. stock market declined sharply from 2007 to 2009 before partially recovering. Large banks lost over $1 trillion on toxic assets and bad loans.

Leadership in Financial Services

Paul Woods

The document summarizes a guest lecture given by Paul Woods at Trinity Business School on his experience leading financial risk management at the Central Bank of Ireland. He discusses the importance of financial institutions and regulation to maintain stability. Woods uses analogies like Star Wars to illustrate how collectively financial institutions can form systemic risks like an "economic Death Star". He outlines causes of financial crises and risks facing the global system. Woods emphasizes the Central Bank must use its tools like a well-coordinated orchestra to balance micro and macro risks and protect consumers through responsible leadership and oversight of the financial system.

Global financial crisis and its consequences

Benjamin Perraut

The document summarizes the global financial crisis that began in 2007 and its causes and consequences. It was triggered by losses in the US subprime mortgage market and the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. The crisis spread due to securitization of risky mortgages and moral hazard. This led to job losses, bankruptcies, declining consumption and aversion to risk. Governments responded with bank bailouts and stimulus spending while regulators aimed to reduce conflicts of interest and better oversee financial markets.

Presentation - Global financial crisis 2008

Mohit Rajput

The document provides an overview of the global financial crisis of 2008. It describes how the crisis originated from the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, where risky lending practices led to many homeowner defaults which subsequently impacted financial institutions globally. As asset prices fell and credit markets froze, there were banking failures across Europe and a global recession ensued, with rising unemployment and declines in GDP and stock prices around the world. India was also impacted via slowing economic growth, though its financial system had less direct exposure than Western nations.

Presentation Global financial crisis

The document discusses the effects of the subprime crisis and Eurozone crisis on the world economy. It provides background on subprime loans and how loose lending standards contributed to the subprime crisis. The crisis spread through losses by financial institutions and investors, decreasing confidence and impacting markets. The Eurozone crisis began with Greece's debt problems and spread to other European nations with high debt levels. Causes included slow growth, shrinking credit, increased government spending, and austerity exacerbating issues. Both crises led to impacts like rising unemployment, falling business activity, and economic impacts.

Global financial Crisis

Dr. Pinki Insan

This document discusses the global financial crisis and its causes. It defines different types of financial crises including banking crises, currency crises, and international crises. It then examines the specific causes of the global financial crisis, including fraudulent lending practices, high leverage, and regulatory failures. Specific events like the dot-com boom and bust, rise in real estate prices, growth of investment banks, creation of collateralized debt obligations, and credit default swaps are analyzed in their contribution to the crisis. The effects included housing market collapse, investment bank failures, government bailouts of institutions like AIG and Lehman Brothers bankruptcy.

Consequences of Financial Crises

Financial Crisis

Stavros Georgiadis

The document summarizes the events that led to the 2008 financial crisis. Cheap money policies by the Federal Reserve encouraged risky lending. Mortgage loans were given to high-risk borrowers and new financial instruments spread risk throughout the system. When the housing bubble burst, the crisis spread globally as losses mounted. The document provides tips for surviving the crisis such as reducing debt, investing for the long term in necessities, and staying informed about market conditions.

1. Inflation is increasingly being driven by global factors like rising food and fuel prices rather than domestic monetary policies. As trade and capital flows have integrated globally, inflation has become more volatile and persistent across countries. 2. 'Asset inflation' caused by speculative investment treating commodities like food and oil as assets contributes to high and volatile price levels beyond temporary spikes. High growth in global financial assets is channeling capital into financial markets rather than productive investment. 3. Countries like Brazil are vulnerable to speculative capital flows that can rapidly appreciate and depreciate their currencies, with inflationary impacts. Coordinated macroeconomic, exchange rate, and capital control policies are needed to manage such financial instability.

Financial crisis - The Great Depression and The Global Crisis 2008

Srikanth Akella

A financial crisis occurs when the value of financial institutions or assets drops rapidly, outpacing the available money and liquidity. This can cause a panic or run on banks as investors withdraw funds. A financial crisis has three stages: initiation as balance sheets deteriorate and asset prices decline; a banking crisis as uncertainty increases; and debt deflation as falling prices trigger more declines. The Great Depression began with a stock market crash followed by bank panics and runs, continuing declines in stock prices, and finally debt deflation and high unemployment. The Global Financial Crisis was caused by issues in mortgage markets and deteriorating balance sheets, leading to a shadow banking run and global market declines and failures.

Bill Ehrman

The document discusses the author Bill Ehrman's core beliefs about the current economic and financial environment. Some of his key beliefs include: monetary policy remains accommodative globally; economies have bottomed out and will improve slowly; inflation and interest rates will remain low; and strong companies with good management and strategies will thrive. The author argues these beliefs suggest the financial markets should do well, despite increased fears, as long as active managers can adapt to shifts in the environment. Corporations need to invest for the future to increase competitiveness while controlling costs, and individuals need to develop new skills for changing job markets.

Initial Lessons of the Crisis

Peter Ho

This document summarizes initial lessons from the financial crisis in three areas: regulation, macroeconomic policy, and the global financial system. Key failures included fragmented regulation that allowed regulatory arbitrage, a lack of coordination between macro and financial stability policies, and an inability within the global system to identify vulnerabilities. Lessons indicate regulation needs broader oversight of all systemically important financial activities, macro policies should consider financial stability risks, and greater international cooperation is required.

Rethinking macroeconomic policy by IMF

Victoria Gnatoka

The IMF provides several important functions for its member countries: 1) It tracks global economic trends and alerts countries to potential problems. 2) It provides a forum for policy discussions between member countries. 3) It offers policy advice and financing to countries facing economic difficulties to help achieve macroeconomic stability and reduce poverty. 4) It aims to help countries take advantage of opportunities and manage challenges from globalization and economic development.

Financial Repression

Luis Taveras EMBA, MS

But resolving this legacy issue with continued application of past interventionist instruments does not incentivize the much needed structural reforms and private capital market activities. Financial repression has induced a re-allocation of capital across markets and greatly enhanced the role of public markets at the detriment of private market activities. Artificially low – or in some cases even negative – interest rates break the credit intermediation channel which can crowd out viable private investors.

Rohit Business and economic environment

Rohit Yadav

Liquidity trap refers to a situation where monetary policy is ineffective because interest rates are close to zero, causing people and banks to hoard money even if more is supplied. This can occur during severe recessions and deflation. Two examples are the Great Depression and Japan's lost decade in the 1990s. Overcoming a liquidity trap requires unconventional policies like quantitative easing or expansionary fiscal policy to stimulate demand.

Recent development

nileshsen

This document provides a summary of recent developments in global financial markets following the sub-prime mortgage crisis. It discusses how turmoil originated from problems in the US sub-prime mortgage market but was exacerbated by a liquidity crisis in the European inter-bank market. While central banks provided liquidity to stabilize markets, the document argues the current financial system's overreliance on complex, opaque instruments like CDOs and lack of transparency regarding risk has increased uncertainty and amplified volatility. Long-term regulatory reforms are needed to improve transparency and prevent excessive risk-taking.

1. GLOBAL IMBALANCES 1.1 Cheap But Flighty: How Global Imbalances Create Financial Fragility by Toni Ahnert and Enrico Perotti Bank of Canada Working Paper 2015-33 https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/wp2015-33.pdf August 2015 How a wealth shift to emerging countries may lead to instability in developed countries. Investors exposed to expropriation risk are willing to pay a safety premium to invest in countries with good property rights. Domestic intermediaries compete for such cheap funding by carving out safe claims, which requires demandable debt. While foreign inflows allow countries to expand their domestic credit, risk-intolerant foreign investors withdraw even under minimal uncertainty. We show that more foreign funding causes larger and more frequent runs. Beyond some scale, even risk-tolerant domestic investors are induced to withdraw to avoid dilution. As excess liquidation causes social losses, a domestic planner may seek prudential measures on the scale of foreign inflows. Topics to study: · Investment / risk - relationship · Global Imbalances · Factors to attract foreign investment · Safety-seeking foreign funding 1. An increasing scale of foreign funding may induce runs even by risk-tolerant investors since they seek to avoid dilution. 2. Result supports a mandate for introducing a macroprudential regulator to oversee the nature of foreign inflows because the socially preferred funding structure would involve less credit volume and more stability than the private choice. 3. Global imbalances shaped the credit boom and, ultimately, the financial crisis 4. The accumulation of wealth in countries with a weak protection of property rights creates a demand for absolute safety provided by intermediaries in developed countries. 5. The safety-seeking nature of foreign flows creates risk. 1.2 Global Imbalances and the Financial Crisis: Products of Common Causes Maurice Obstfeld and Kenneth Rogoff University of California, Berkeley, and Harvard University. Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco https://scholar.harvard.edu/files/rogoff/files/global_imbalances_and_financial_crisis_0.pdf November 2009 This paper makes a case that the global imbalances of the 2000s and the recent global financial crisis are intimately connected. Both have their origins in economic policies followed in a number of countries in the 2000s and in distortions that influenced the transmission of these policies through U.S. and ultimately through global financial markets. In the U.S., the interaction among the Fed’s monetary stance, global real interest rates, credit market distortions, and financial innovation created the toxic mix of conditions making the U.S. the epicenter of the global financial crisis. Outside the U.S., exchange rate and other economic policies followed by emerging markets such as China contributed to the United States’ ability to borrow cheaply abroad and thereby finance its unsustainable housing bubble.

1. The document discusses the failures of development policies like the Washington Consensus and financial globalization due to their reliance on first-best thinking when second-best thinking is required given real-world market and institutional failures. 2. It argues policy should be based on second-best thinking and target "binding constraints" through selective, sequential, and context-specific reforms rather than assuming all distortions can be removed at once. 3. Financial globalization failed because capital markets operate under significant market imperfections that cannot be fully addressed, and capital inflows can cause overvaluation and move exchange rates in ways that hinder development.

SYRTO Project

1) The document discusses a framework for modeling systemic risk and banking crises through the lens of a macroeconomic model. It aims to better understand the dynamics of financial and real business cycles. 2) Key findings from the model include that banking crises are typically preceded by unusually long periods of positive productivity shocks that fuel credit booms, and then peter out, leading to over-savings and fragile banks. 3) Next steps discussed include how to design optimal macroprudential policies like countercyclical capital buffers to address externalities and mitigate systemic risk, through tools like regulatory requirements and coordinated monetary/regulatory policies.

This document discusses aspects of global economic crises and provides potential solutions. It notes that before crises, problems are known but reforms face resistance during growth periods. Crises are then assessed superficially and policy responses are too late or not well-coordinated. It analyzes causes like excess leverage, risky investments, lack of transparency, and failure of international coordination. Solutions proposed include stronger financial regulation and supervision, higher capital and liquidity standards, addressing regulatory gaps, reforming accounting rules, and enhancing international cooperation.

Crisis actual erturk 54

Antonio Paiva

The document discusses lessons from the global financial crisis for heterodox economists. It argues that two key lessons are the crucial role that asset price bubbles play in fueling credit growth in a profit-led macroeconomic system, and the importance of understanding global imbalances from the perspective of capital flows rather than just trade balances. Looking at imbalances through the lens of capital accounts shows how excess savings in some countries recycled through the US financial system, fueling asset bubbles and credit expansion. This perspective helps explain the crisis in a way mainstream theories cannot.

Sowjanya Jangam

The document discusses the role of banks in lessening the consequences of financial crises. It describes how banks contributed to the 2008 crisis through risky lending practices. It then outlines measures banks can take to support the economy during a crisis, such as increasing lending, offering flexible loan terms, and providing liquidity. The document also examines China's response during the 2008 crisis through continued lending and stimulus packages. However, it notes banks face limitations in addressing crises due to their size, global economic conditions, and system complexities.

It then contrasts Islamic risk sharing contracts with conventional debt contracts. Finally, it analyzes several economic theories for the causes of the credit crisis and argues that the fractional reserve banking system and financialization decoupled finance from the real economy and led to instability.

TUAC

The document discusses the causes of the 2008 financial crisis and calls for re-regulation of the financial industry. It notes that the crisis was caused by an unsustainable growth model, risky structured finance products, lack of oversight of banks and shadow banking, and short-term corporate behavior. It argues that re-regulation should strengthen financial safeguards, ensure cooperation internationally, and spread responsibility throughout the investment industry to prevent future crises.

The document summarizes William White's presentation on whether the search for efficiency in the financial world has made it less safe. It discusses how deregulation and technology led to more efficient real economies, financial markets, and monetary policy, but also potentially created financial headwinds. These include high consumer and government debt, large trade imbalances, and signs like low interest rates and volatility that financial conditions may be unsustainable. Tighter monetary policy in the future could exacerbate problems if imbalances have grown large enough.

The speech discusses how deregulation and new technologies aimed at increasing efficiency in real economies, financial markets, and monetary policy have helped lower inflation and volatility but may have also contributed to growing financial imbalances. These imbalances, as seen in issues like high credit growth, rising asset prices, and sectoral debt levels, have historically led to economic "headwinds." The current financial market turmoil stemming from the subprime crisis reflects some of these underlying issues and has significant implications for financial participants, the broader financial system, and the global economy.
