What is a Financial Obligation
A financial obligation: loan or a bond is created when a borrower borrows money from a lender/creditor and promises to repay such money along with interest over a period of time
Example 1: People typically finance a portion of the purchase price of their home US mortgages are typically repaid over 30 years in
360 equal monthly installments. Today, the average interest rate on US mortgages is approximately 4.25%.
Example 2: a corporation is building a new $100 million plant To partially finance the building they may elect to
issue $80 million of 5 –year bonds at a rate of 5%.

Long-term ratings: obligations with an original maturity of one year or more. Reflect on the likelihood of a default on payments and the
expected financial loss suffered in the event of default.
Short-term ratings: obligations with an original maturity of thirteen months or less Reflect the likelihood of a default on contractually
promised payments.

The Banks?
They underwrote and sold all of the securities which later defaulted

have failed if they were not bailed out by the government
Some shorted the market while continuing to sell the same securities and sectors they were shorting

The regulators?
They missed the crisis They were/are in a unique position to demand
receipt of information They were/are in a unique position to enforce
regulated institutions to take certain actions

Who is to Blame?
Everyone It was a classic this time is different
Better models More liquidity
Consensus mindset was of market efficiency and deregulation was good for the economy
The US had not seen national home prices decline in 75 years
Consensus was that overvalued home prices would remain flat or decline only slightly until income caught up

Classic Financial Crisis
Shocks to the system: 2007:
RMBS market froze Two Bear Stearns RMBS hedge funds failed BNP Paribas suspended redemptions in a couple of their
mutual funds due to an inability to price RMBS investments 2008:
Bear Stearns failed in March but was essentially bailed out by the Fed
Lehman failed in September and was not rescued setting off panic in the markets
Opacity, interconnectiveness and complexity did not allow for participants to know who was at risk
The markets froze, liquidity dried up, asset prices plummeted
