Today’s events echo earlier big international financial crises that were triggered by events in the U.S. financial system. Examples include the crises of 1857 1893 1907 and 1929–33. This crisis has many similarities to those of the past but also some important modern twists. The crisis started in the United States with the collapse of the subprime mortgage market in early 2007 and the end of a major housing boom.

Its causes include major changes in regulation lax oversight relaxation of normal standards of prudent lending and a prolonged period of abnormally low interest rates. Defaults on mortgages spread to investment banks and commercial banks in the United States and across the world via an elaborate network of derivatives. 2019-11-01T00:04:55Z 2019-11-01T00:04:55Z 2010 Artículo 978-956-7421-34-3 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12580/3787 eng Series on Central Banking Analysis and Economic Policies no. 15 Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Chile http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/cl/ .pdf Sección o Parte de un Documento p. 11-27 application/pdf ESTADOS UNIDOS Banco Central de Chile
