Market crises, the financial system and the real economy: Analysis and implications for the global financial services industry
Abstract
Across the world, the deep and unexpected crisis within the global financial sector has quickly spread through to the real economy. To understand the mechanisms of contagion between the financial sector and the real economy, this paper begins by presenting a summary of the most important facts from the last 24 months. It then proposes some preliminary hypotheses regarding possible mechanisms to improve the stability of the financial services sector. Finally, the analysis examines potential solutions for the crisis in those major developed countries that envisage major public intervention. The paper also considers the implicit and explicit risks for the economies of the countries involved.
