Mortgages Uncovered

Literally every day has been one extraordinary development after another and every day we all stand back in astonishment at the next intriguing and concerning episode of ‘The Credit Crunch’ and the impacts it is having on business.

Lehman Brothers which as you know is the US investment bank has been allowed to go bust, however, at the same time AIG, one of the world’s biggest insurers was then bailed out.
A sudden and fast takeover in HBOS, the UK’s largest mortgage lender was then approved by the government.

Then the United States authorities started to make noises that it had cooked up a HUGE plan for relieving the United States banking system which was flailing in mortgage debts and their limits were put on a “short-selling” in shares in the United States and United Kingdom markets.

Then the share prices completely crashed and suddenly shot up again.

So is the average person now in a different position from all this activity?

Banks

Well, both UK and US governments including all financial authorities have been really concerned banks that are exposed to increasing numbers of defaulting mortgages will collapse.

This fear has in turn caused financial systems to completely seize up with further concerns that this would have a domino effect on banking systems globally which would also collapse.

This was the huge rush in getting HBOS to be taken over as soon as possible despite the bank itself and even the authorities pleading that the bank had plenty of money and would be fine.
