Global financial crisis, 2008

Banknotes

The global financial crisis of September–October 2008 is a major ongoing financial crisis, the worst of its kind since the Great Depression. It became prominantly visible in mid-September, 2008 with the failure, merger or conservatorship of several large United States-based financial firms. The underlying causes leading to the crisis had been reported in business journals for many months before September, with commentary about the financial stability of leading U.S. investment banks, insurance firms and mortgage banks.

A stock market crash is a sudden dramatic decline of stock prices across a significant cross-section of a stock market. Crashes are driven by panic as much as by underlying economic factors. They often follow speculative stock market bubbles.
