A macro perspective and appreciation for the scope of the problem are the factors that enable a comprehensive approach to develop strategies and equipment that could define the problem, analyze the where the economy was during that time and glimpse of where the economy should be within a period of time possible.Attributes such as the so-called stress test give merit in providing a level of transparency for investors to obtain a clear picture of where originated problems and improvements that have been made and maintained to keep the economy.

The fundamental problem is that banks including Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac had signed loans for borrowers less than deserves with little or no real value of the initial projects propiedades.Los all were many or most businesses and financial institutions has been asked by the wrong way. The stress test helped refute most fears, revealing that many companies acted responsibly and in the housing sector continues to be the culprit.This revelation helped alleviate some of the fears of investors and therefore certain investor confidence was restored later represents valores.Sin market however, jobs continued lag and cut in high percentages as companies used preventive measures to reduce operating costs in the fear of that the worsening recession.

Real estate business is another sector that Economist majority have warned of a through this process, but according to Porat, a limping economy can prolong the process now.When asked about the growth of borrowing, noted that banks are considering requirements of loans and consumers are saving more than its capital for loans.

The consequences of these two practices on the part of the business sectors and consumer growth is slower economic. In conclusion, was also quick to specify that a contributing factor is the regional economic conditions that encourage the bank failures as opposed to a systemic problem remaining in the financial sector as a whole.
