Experts are of the opinion that the mortgage crisis is perhaps
the biggest financial shock the country has been subjected to following
the Great Depression of the 1930s and early 1940s. The subprime mortgage
crisis in USA which erupted due to the bursting of the housing bubble
did not leave the major economies of the world unscathed. The
International Monetary Fund (IMF) anticipates that the country's GDP
growth would be approximately 0.6% in 2009.
Liquidity issues in the banking sector are being manifested as a result of the subprime mortgage crisis. The problem got worse due to foreclosures, which increased tremendously during the end of 2006. This rekindled a global slowdown in the economy during 2007 through 2008.
High default rates marked the beginning of the crisis when individuals not qualifying for loans (subprime) were granted the same. This made deals riskier. The subprime debtors had a damaged credit history and were not able to repay the loan amount. Uncertainty prevailed as the housing market did not turn out to be the way it was expected.
Statistics confirm that approximately 1.3 million housing properties in the United States of America faced foreclosure in the year 2007. To add to the woes of the real estate operators, the ARM or the adjustable rate mortgage interest rates were reset at a higher percentage. As of February 2008, banking as well as non banking financial institutions recorded loss worth USD$170 billion.
