Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank are reportedly on the verge of collapse. They have 2.7 trillion in assets under management between them. It’s three times the assets of Lehman at the time of the collapse.
On 15 September 2008, Lehman Brothers, a bank considered ‘too big to fail,’ filed for insolvency. It was the single largest bankruptcy filing in the history of the US. At the time, the bank had $639 billion in assets and $619 billion in debt.
Credit Suisse and Deutsche Bank are too big to fail. Some say Deutsche Bank will be okay, but Credit Suisse is the one that is in big trouble…
If the banks can’t pay off their debts i.e., they become insolvent and have to sell off their assets.
If the prices of these assets fall below a certain level, the other banks too will have to start selling to avoid the forceful margin calls on their positions.
This massive deleveraging event will create a domino effect due to mass selling, and this economic crisis will spread from one market/region to another, known as Contagion.
