2. What is Sub-Prime Crisis?
• The subprime meltdown was the sharp increase in high-
risk mortgages that went into default beginning in 2007,
contributing to the most severe recession in decades.
• The housing boom of the mid-2000s – combined with
low interest rates at the time – prompted many lenders
to offer home loans to individuals with poor credit.
When the real estate bubble burst, many borrowers were
unable to make payments on their subprime mortgages.
• Its known by various name "credit crunch“, “2008
economic break down”
3. Factors That lead to Crisis

had encouraged US banks to lend
money to people.

despite having lower income
levels.

agencies Eg. moody

like CDO and CDS.

12. “We were at the brink of something that would
have made anything that's
happened in financial history look pale. We were
very, very close to a
system that was totally dysfunctional and would
have not only gummed up
the financial markets but gummed up the
economy in a way that would take
us years and years to repair” – Warren Buffet
