History of the Credit Crunch

I was reading the BBC History magazine the other day, and in particular an article on the credit crunch of the 13th century. Yes, we had a credit then! Edward King of Italy had loans to finance the wars and ... Well, it is complicated, but the end result was a credit to England. Then, as today, international finance, politics and intrigue and the disastrous consequences of proportion.

  Then I picked up from the current management and  was very graphically the historical patterns of recSesión and inflation. Fascinating stuff! The article shows how inflation is followed by recession (which seems the most financially were quiet between 1870-1910). The higher the peak of inflation, lower the recession that followed. The graph shows a huge block of inflation in the 1940s to 1990 without a recession matching - so the pattern of previous centuries is broken. We have  line for this fall for a long time?

  Do not you see? That are unknown? Where were all our economic experts, our financial wizards? Well, to make sure that some predicted it - but nobody wanted to believe them.

  We will probably never know exactly the answer to why this happened (although I would love to have a look at the issue of BBC History Magazine 2099 - hindsight is clearer vision).

  No matter how useful ornavarre historical perspective, we live in different times today. We have all the new technologies that did not even exist a decade ago. So what is to come in the next few years? Will that through this battle and leave stronger, or the many years of inflation and the relative wealth be followed by years of recession? Let's see the promised 'outbreak'? Things change a lot faster today. Richard Reeves, author of the article in Management Today  said that "although small in global terms, the inflation outlook in the UK is much more exciting for years."

  He gives a real idea about the UK economy and the price of what may happen, but you queobtener magazine to read the full article, of course.

  The UK is undoubtedly in the midst of great flux. The Government responded in different ways - and to provide support to banks to support loans for qEU small business can continue to access financing. Business Secretary Lord Mandelson said that the goal of "real needs of business." What are the needs of real companies?

  Improving the skills of trabajadores of the United Kingdom has long been an identified need for business - our knowledge base in the UK has been poor compared with other European countries (see Leitch Report 2006).

Why the Credit Crunch happened

In 2007, financial markets were abuzz with talk of a credit. It is unusual and unpredictable as some outside force such as the impact of an asteroid or a cold winter storm. However, it was not unexpected, and was not caused by any external force. The credit crunch began because borrowers have been unable to make payments on the loans they were given. When lenders began to lose money left to lend money: credit.

  If newFinancial globalization is the poster child for the housing bubble Gr.comer. New Century Financial was founded in 1995 and headquartered in Irvine, California. New Century Financial Corporation was a real estate investment trust (REIT), provided the first and second mortgage products to borrowers nationwide through its operating subsidiaries, New Century Mortgage Corporation and Home123 Corporation. The company was the second largest issuer of subprime loans by dollar value  in 2006. On April 2, 2007, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protecticomplementos. The date of its financial implosion is seen as the day the bubble appeared. The death of New Century Financial has come to represent the death of the loans in bulk and the start of the credit crunch. Subprime lending was widely regarded as guilty of starting the cycle of tightening credit and a new century has been linked to this problema, but the scale and scope of the disaster was much larger than subprime.

  The huge credit facilitated the decline Lagrán housing bubble is a cash flow crisis of insolvency. Basically, people have no income to constantly mortgage payments. This was caused by a combination of exotic loan programs with the increase in payments, a deterioration of credit standards that allow debt-income well above the norms históricas and systematic practice of making the loan applications with the ghost of income (stated income or "liar" loans).

The federal funds rate sand reduced to zero, and the FED started buying long-term Treasury in a program known as quantitative easing. Unfortunately, following the interest rate does not force people to borrow or banks to lend. People have already taken too much, and some banks créditodigno credit to customers who were not already overburdened with debt. The credit can not be resolved with monetary policy.

Business owners in the Credit Crunch

In times of economic boom employers had to work to attract the best staff, reward good and keep them in business.
