Globálna kreditná kríza

The credit crunch will globally cost $1.2 trillion (£600bn) according to a report from the bank Goldman Sachs. The report says 40%, or $460bn, of those losses will hit US banks, brokerages and other institutions.

Goldman estimates that US financial firms have already reported losses of $120bn since the credit crunch began.

Banks made huge losses on investments backed by US mortgages. That is now hampering their ability to loan money, which threatens US economic growth.

“US leveraged institutions have written off less than half of the losses associated with the bursting of the credit bubble,” the report said.
