The global economic crisis of 2007-2008 began in the United States with the bursting of the housing bubble and subprime mortgage crisis, which led to a financial crisis and the Great Recession. Many economies are still experiencing negative effects such as high unemployment. The crisis was caused by lax regulation, excessive risk taking by banks, global trade imbalances, and irrational behavior that led to financial bubbles. It impacted the world through a decline in international trade and global growth, loss of confidence, and rising unemployment. India was impacted through effects on its stock market, trade, IT sector, foreign investments, currency, unemployment, GDP growth, and investments.
