Just as the great depression, a booming economy had been experienced before the global financial crisis. The economy was growing at a faster rtae bwteen 2001 and 2007 than in any other period in the last 30 years (wade 2008 p23). An vast amount of subprime mortgages were the backbone to the financial collapse, among several other underlying issues. As with the great depression, there would be a number of factors that caused such a devastating economic
The financial crisis of 2007–2008 is considered by many economists the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. This crisis resulted in the threat of total collapse of large financial institutions, the bailout of banks by national governments, and downturns in stock markets around the world. The crisis led to a series of events including: the 2008–2012 global recessions and the European sovereign-debt crisis. The reasons of this financial crisis are argued by economists. The performance of the Federal Reserve becomes a focal point in this argument.
The emergency rescue of the Royal Bank of Scotland in 2008 has cost the UK government thus the British taxpayer a huge amount of money. Many people are upset about the high bonuses the RBS management board have received, both because of the outrageously high amount and because the performance of the bank on the long-term was not good at all. According to the agency theory managers do not always act in the interest of the shareholder, but often act in the interest of themselves. The downfall of RBS could have been prevented if managers were not paid out a bonus based on their performance of one year, but rather a combination of a bonus based on their performance of multiple years and a bonus ...
The concept “credit crunch” was firstly introduced during the Great Depression of the 1990s. It refers to a reduction in the availability of loans and other types of credit at a given interest rate. Under a condition of credit crunch, banks are supposed to hold more capital than other time and become reluctant to lend with a fear of bankruptcies and defaults. In the 1990s, shortage of financial capital and low-quality borrowers forced the banks to reduce the loan supply. But that one of 2007 was more complicated than ever before.
The book The Banker’s New Clothes: What’s Wrong with Banking and What to Do About It was wriiten out of necessity after the worst economic downturn in the United States in more than eighty years. The massive breakdown of the United States housing market in 2006 and 2007 had overwhelming consequences on domestic and global economies and devastated the global banking systems. Between 2001 and 2006, many large financial institutions had accumulated large positions in the subprime mortgage market that gave out superb returns. Asset prices in this market inflated to unreasonable levels due to the quality of the loans being packaged and sold by commercial bankers and would soon create a major asset bubble in the markets. The bursting of the housing
The easy availability of credit in U.S, Russian debt crises and Asian financial crises of late 90’s showed the way to a housing construction boom in the USA. The relaxed lending rules and increasing property prices along with the increase in foreign funds added to generate this real estate bubble.

The "subprime crises" was one of the most significant financial events since the Great Depression and definitely left a mark upon the country as we remain upon a steady path towards recovering fully. The financial crisis of 2008, became a defining moment within the infrastructure of the US financial system and its need for restructuring. One of the main moments that alerted the global economy of our declining state was the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers on Sunday, September 14, 2008 and after this the economy began spreading as companies and individuals were struggling to find a way around this crisis. (Murphy, 2008) The US banking sector was first hit with a crisis amongst liquidity and declining world stock markets as well. The subprime mortgage crisis was characterized by a decrease within the housing market due to excessive individuals and corporate debt along with risky lending and borrowing practices. Over time, the market apparently began displaying more weaknesses as the global financial system was being affected. With this being said, this brings into question about who is actually to assume blame for this financial fiasco. It is extremely hard to just assign blame to one individual party as there were many different factors at work here. This paper will analyze how the stakeholders created a financial disaster and did nothing to prevent it as the credit rating agencies created an amount of turmoil due to their unethical decisions and costly mistakes.
Executive compensation has been a commonly debated topic in many different nations around the world. Most of these discussions focus around the staggering rise in compensation over the last couple of decades, most evident in the United States and more specifically, in the financial industry. This issue was brought to light during the housing market crash in 2008, when a lack of regulation in the financial securities market led to the exposure and critique of several large investment banks. Through investigational probes, it was found that not only was executive compensation exorbitantly high, but executives were also acting both unethically and immorally. Even after this information surfaced, many executives left their roles with large payouts

The recent Global Financial Crisis (GFC) initially began with the collapse of credits and financial markets, which caused by the sub-prime mortgage crisis in the US in 2007. The sub-prime mortgages were given to high-risk lenders (with bad credit history) who were in danger of defaulting, which eventually caused a global credit crunch, where the banks were unwilling to lend to each other. In October 2008, the collapse of the major financial institutions and the crash of stock markets marked the peak of this global economic slowdown (Euromonitor International, 2008).

This course work aims at examining issues corporate governance failure at the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). It also tries to establish the relationship between corporate governance effectiveness and profitability within UK banks. A very recent issue within this area is also including towards the end of the course work.
Several financial statements have been prepared to describe the causes of this current financial failure. There are a variety of factors that has resulted in the explosion of this financial crisis. Downfall of the US housing market; highly benefited financial dealings and a low interest-rate promoting borrowings, have all contributed to the recession monetary market. Let us now consider these various reasons in a little detail.
The failure of adequate board accountability has indicated strong adverse effects on corporate performance including, the bankruptcy of various public companies, thereby casting serious doubt on the credibility and efficacy of board accountability. For example, Lehman Brothers scandal, the largest bankruptcy in U.S history, Northern Rock was a large failure of a financial institution in the United Kingdom (Hull 2015:16). In Ireland, the Anglo-Irish Bank created a huge bubble that plunged the state into economic recession. In September 28, 2008, the Irish Government signed into law, the “bank guarantee” which provided with immediate effect a guarantee arrangement to safeguard all deposits in retail, commercial, institutional and interbank transactions, covered bonds, senior debt and dated subordinated debt (Lenihan 2008). Banks in Ireland clearly needed yet more capital from the State (Irish Times 19 November 2011) and this underscores the need for the government’s bailout
