The document outlines 10 causes of the global financial crisis, including a credit bubble fueled by cheap credit that led to a housing bubble, risky mortgages and securitization, financial institutions concentrating correlated housing risk and using excessive leverage, and a financial shock and panic in September 2008 that triggered a severe economic contraction. Financial institutions failed due to large losses from housing investments, contagion risks from interconnectedness, and a common shock from similar bets on housing that undercapitalized many firms. The financial crisis then caused a broader economic crisis through contraction.
This presentation explains the events and causes that led to Global Financial Crisis in 2007-08, mainly focused on Collateralized Debt Obligations, Sub-Prime Mortgages, Credit Default Swaps and Housing Bubble.
This study presentation looks at the causes and consequences of different types of financial crisis. It also focuses on the Hyman Minsky theory of financial instability in a capitalist economic system.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9YLta5Tr2A
The global financial crisis, brewing for a while, really started to show its effects in the middle of 2008. Around the world stock markets have fallen, large financial institutions have collapsed or been bought out, and governments in even the wealthiest nations have had to come up with rescue packages to bail out their financial systems.
On the one hand many people are concerned that those responsible for the financial problems are the ones being bailed out, while on the other hand, a global financial meltdown will affect the livelihoods of almost everyone in an increasingly inter-connected world. The problem could have been avoided, if ideologues supporting the current economics models weren’t so vocal, influential and inconsiderate of others’ viewpoints and concerns.
This presentation provides an overview of the crisis with links for further, more detailed, coverage at the end.

2. As of August 2013, the Global market is still in an economic slump caused by a financial crisis
that first manifested itself in August 2007 and ended in early 2009. The primary features of that
financial crisis were a financial shock in September 2008 and a concomitant financial panic. The
financial shock and panic triggered a severe contraction in lending and hiring beginning in the
fourth quarter of 2008.
Some observers describe recent economic history as a recession that began in December 2007
and continued until June 2009, and from which we are only now beginning to recover. The
financial system is still recovering and being restructured, and the Global economy struggles to
return to sustained strong growth. We determined ten factors that caused the global financial
crisis.
Ten Causes of the Financial and Economic Crisis
The following ten causes are essential to explain the financial and economic crisis.
I. Credit bubble. Starting in the late 1990s, China, other large developing countries, and the big
oil-producing nations built up large capital surpluses. They loaned these savings to the United
States and Europe, causing interest rates to fall. Credit spreads narrowed, meaning that the
cost of borrowing to finance risky investments declined. A credit bubble formed in the United
States and Europe, the most notable manifestation of which was increased investment in high-
risk mortgages. U.S. monetary policy may have contributed to the credit bubble but did not
cause it.
II. Real-Estate bubble. Beginning in the late 1990s and accelerating in the 2000s, there was a
large and sustained housing bubble in the United States. The bubble was characterized both by
national increases in house prices well above the historical trend and by rapid regional boom-
and-bust cycles in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Florida. Many factors contributed to the
housing bubble, the bursting of which created enormous losses for homeowners and investors.
III. Nontraditional mortgages. Tightening credit spreads, overly optimistic assumptions about
U.S. housing prices, and flaws in primary and secondary mortgage markets led to poor
origination practices and combined to increase the flow of credit to U.S. housing finance. Fueled
by cheap credit, firms like Countrywide, Washington Mutual, Ameriquest, and HSBC Finance
originated vast numbers of high-risk, nontraditional mortgages that were in some cases
deceptive, in many cases confusing, and often beyond borrowers’ ability to repay. At the same
time, many homebuyers and homeowners did not live up to their responsibilities to understand
the terms of their mortgages and to make prudent financial decisions. These factors further
amplified the housing bubble.
IV. Credit ratings and securitization. Failures in credit rating and securitization transformed
bad mortgages into toxic financial assets. Securitizers lowered the credit quality of the
mortgages they securitized. Credit rating agencies erroneously rated mortgage-backed
securities and their derivatives as safe investments. Buyers failed to look behind the credit
3. ratings and do their own due diligence. These factors fueled the creation of more bad
mortgages.
V. Financial institutions concentrated correlated risk. Managers of many large and midsize
financial institutions in the United States amassed enormous concentrations of highly correlated
housing risk. Some did this knowingly by betting on rising housing prices, while others paid
insufficient attention to the potential risk of carrying large amounts of housing risk on their
balance sheets. This enabled large but seemingly manageable mortgage losses to precipitate
the collapse of large financial institutions.
VI. Leverage and liquidity risk. Managers of these financial firms amplified this concentrated
housing risk by holding too little capital relative to the risks they were carrying on their balance
sheets. Many placed their firms on a hair trigger by relying heavily on short-term financing in
repo and commercial paper markets for their day-to-day liquidity. They placed solvency bets
(sometimes unknowingly) that their housing investments were solid, and liquidity bets that
overnight money would always be available. Both turned out to be bad bets. In several cases,
failed solvency bets triggered liquidity crises, causing some of the largest financial firms to fail or
nearly fail. Firms were insufficiently transparent about their housing risk, creating uncertainty in
markets that made it difficult for some to access additional capital and liquidity when needed.
VII. Risk of contagion. The risk of contagion was an essential cause of the crisis. In some
cases, the financial system was vulnerable because policymakers were afraid of a large firm’s
sudden and disorderly failure triggering balance-sheet losses in its counterparties. These
institutions were deemed too big and interconnected to other firms through counterparty credit
risk for policymakers to be willing to allow them to fail suddenly.
VIII. Common shock. In other cases, unrelated financial institutions failed because of a
common shock: they made similar failed bets on housing. Unconnected financial firms failed for
the same reason and at roughly the same time because they had the same problem: large
housing losses. This common shock meant that the problem was broader than a single failed
bank – key large financial institutions were undercapitalized because of this common shock.
IX. Financial shock and panic. In quick succession in September 2008, the failures, near-
failures, and restructurings of ten firms triggered a global financial panic. Confidence and trust in
the financial system began to evaporate as the health of almost every large and midsize
financial institution in the United States and Europe was questioned.
X. Financial crisis causes economic crisis. The financial shock and panic caused a severe
contraction in the real economy. The shock and panic ended in early 2009. Harm to the real
economy continues through today.
