Introduction

The borrowing crunch has become prevalent, and even some large, economicly sound non- economic corporations were incapable to roll over their financial paper in the money market to finance working capital needs. Afire sale in asset markets pursued the disintegrate of major financial organisations in the joined States and Europe. Prices of financial companies. stocks were under tremendous pressure even before September, 2008, but a further erosion of investor confidence, combined with a significant downgrading of the outlook for the real economic sector, triggered another round of asset sell-offs worldwide in late September and October, 2008.

Meanwhile, large doubt continues in borrowing derivatives, with $400 trillion to $500 trillion in notional worth of derivatives outstanding.
