...Why did China fare much better than the United States and the United Kingdom during the 2007-2009 financial crisis ? 1. Global financial crisis 2007 to 2009 1.1 Background The 2007-2009 financial crisis started as a sub-prime crisis in the United States (US). The Wall Street, driven for higher profits and low federal fund rate in home ownership began lending to sub-primes (Whalley et al, 2009). The mortgage loans were then re-packaged into financial instruments and sold to investors globally. When the housing prices declined in 2006, sub-primes defaulted on their mortgage loans as the values of their houses depreciated. These non-performing loans grew in sizes and led to the collapse of the mortgage loan market and collateralised debt obligations, leaving banks and financial institutions with lower net worth (Bianco, 2008). Due to the interconnected economies, the impact of the crisis spread beyond the US and resulted in a global financial crisis. | | | 1. | | | 2. | | | 3. | | | 4. | | | 5. | | | | | | | | | | 1. | | | | | | | 1. | | | 2. | | | 3. | | | | | | GDP: GDP growth (%): Considering that China’s GDP was only a third of the USA’s, its fiscal stimulus package size was significant in comparison to USA and UK, where the stimulus package were only 6% and 1.4% of their respective GDP (Fleet, 2010)..

This resulted from a rapidly rise of short-term lending from the shadow banking system, which has been considered an unofficial lending market that operates outside the scope of regulations and has recently been plunged into crisis. This paper synthesizes the overall indexes and information about the ongoing banking crisis in China, which includes: recent China economic analysis, how the crisis impacts on domestic and global economy, comparing China’s banking system to several countries in the world and the forecast for China in the near future. How the crisis took off In today’s globalized world, no country is immune from the financial crisis, even the second largest economy of the world. An increase in risky and complicated financial practices in China can possibly drive the economy to a terrible crisis. The financial crisis resulted from a rapidly rise of...

Helmut Submitted January 10th, 2014 Ludacris Yu As for the financial crisis of 2008 in the world, which is the most serious economics crisis since the Great depression in 1930s, and caused globalized influenced. Many major economics have had flat and passive development over the last two years. Whereas in China, the economics still have been growing stabilized. According to the Wikipedia “China is the world’s second largest economy by nominal GDP and by purchasing power charity after the United States of America.

For example, it can reduce the goods costing, which some countries can open the factories on China. However, the globalization has some disadvantages. For example, the global financial crisis occurred on 2008. This essay is going to analyses how globalization and global financial crisis in the business environment impact on the organization you work in and the tasks you undertake. The globalization refers to the system of contact among the countries of the world in order to improve the global economy. The globalization is the amalgamation of economics and societies all over the world. Globalization including economic, technological, political, and cultural exchanges made possible largely by advances in communication, transportation, and infrastructure (Hotbabefacthicks, 2010). The global financial crisis refers to a widespread economic emergency that began in 2007. Beginning with the crash of the United States financial system, the crisis quickly spread worldwide, thanks to the interconnected marks of modern global trading systems. It is still impossible to fully explain the effects of the global financial crisis, as the disaster continues to damage and impede markets worldwide even several years after the initial event (wiseGEEK, 2003-2012).

...The impact of financial liberalization reform on economic growth: an empirical survey on China Introduction: In the past few decades, financial liberalization would be a main driving force and trend on countries’ financial reform. It aims to eliminate restrictions on financial markets and financial institutions, both domestically and internationally (Financial Liberalization). Thus, as a benefit of financial liberalization, a surge of competition and innovation was awakened in the US and rapid spread to other advanced economies’ financial market between 1970s and 1980s. As a result, banks had become bigger and financial intermediation was cheaper (Anon. 2007). However, an excessive freedom could encourage financial institutions to take unnecessary risks on lending business which would lead to financial crisis. The current great economic recession was caused by a new financial instrument crisis, subprime crisis which started from developed economies which had high level of financial liberalization. Therefore, to some extent, financial liberalization is risky in the process of financial reform. China had conducted its financial reform for more than 30 years. It had benefited from financial liberalization to accelerate capital accumulation. Now, it has the world’s most valuable banks and has the largest foreign exchange reserve. But, in general, Huang et al. (2010) stated that China’s financial reform is still focus long on quantitative growth but short on qualitative growth in...

...Discussion Paper No. 2009/01 The Financial Crisis of 2008 and the Developing Countries Wim Naudé* January 2009 Abstract Following the financial crisis that broke in the US and other Western economies in late 2008, there is now serious concern about its impact on the developing countries. The world media almost daily reports scenarios of gloom and doom, with many predicting a deep global recession. This paper critically discusses this and concludes that as far as the developing countries are concerned, a bit more optimism may be warranted. Although without doubt there are particular countries that will be adversely affected, there will also be countries that may be less affected, may avoid recession, and may recover sooner than expected. Six major reasons for this conclusion are discussed. Without this resilience in the developing world, prospects for the world’s richer countries would be much bleaker. Finally, some options available to the developing countries for minimizing the impact of the crisis are discussed. The crisis accentuates the urgent need for accelerating financial development in developing countries, both through domestic financial deepening, domestic resource mobilization, and reform of the international financial system.

...Global Financial Crisis The global financial crisis, brewing for a while, really started to show its effects in the middle of 2007 and into 2008. Around the world stock markets have fallen, large financial institutions have collapsed or been bought out, and governments in even the wealthiest nations have had to come up with rescue packages to bail out their financial systems. On the one hand many people are concerned that those responsible for the financial problems are the ones being bailed out, while on the other hand, a global financial meltdown will affect the livelihoods of almost everyone in an increasingly inter-connected world. The problem could have been avoided, if ideologues supporting the current economics models weren’t so vocal, influential and inconsiderate of others’ viewpoints and concerns. A collapse of the US sub-prime mortgage market and the reversal of the housing boom in other industrialized economies have had a ripple effect around the world. Furthermore, other weaknesses in the global financial system have surfaced. Some financial products and instruments have become so complex and twisted, that as things start to unravel, trust in the whole system started to fail. The subprime crisis came about in large part because of financial instruments such as securitization where banks would pool their various loans into sellable assets, thus off-loading risky loans onto others. (For banks, millions can be made in money-earning loans, but they are tied up for...

...Introduction The banking industry has always been susceptible to economic fluctuations. The subprime mortgages crisis, that started to be felt in 2007 and is still going on, is not an exception. Although it had consequences all over the world, the main effects were seen in American financial markets, followed by the European ones. The top ten banks of the world also suffered the consequences; these can be seen in the changes occurred among these leading institutions in terms of market capitalization and also total assets. After several years of believing in free markets, capitalism and no government intervention, the whole scene has changed. During this period, the governments, acting together with their respective central banks, assumed a more interventionist role, trying to regulate the economic fluctuations triggered by the crisis. It is interesting to analyse the effects all these changes had (and still have) on the banking industry. In the following paper, I am going to present a ranking of the world leading banks (by market capitalization and total assets) and analyze the results in order to observe the impact of the financial crisis on these banks’ drivers. Context From World War II until the late 70’s, banking was a stable activity that was not so sensitive to economic fluctuations. From there on, deregulation and liberalisation transformed banking into an unstable activity, completely responsive to changes in the economic environment. Technological change created...

In 1978—when China started the program of economic reforms—the country ranked ninth in nominal gross domestic product (GDP) with USD 214 billion; 35 years later it jumped up to second place with a nominal GDP of USD 9.2 trillion. Since the introduction of the economic reforms in 1978, China has become the world’s manufacturing hub, where the secondary sector (comprising industry and construction) represented the largest share of GDP. However, in recent years, China’s modernization propelled the tertiary sector and, in 2013, it became the largest category of GDP with a share of 46.1%, while the secondary sector still accounted for a sizeable 45.0% of the country’s total output. Meanwhile, the primary sector’s weight in GDP has shrunk dramatically since the country opened to the world. China weathered the global economic crisis better than most other countries. In November 2008, the State Council unveiled a CNY 4.0 trillion (USD 585 billion) stimulus package in an...

...Introduction Nowadays, China is one of the world's top exporters and is attracting record amounts of foreign investment. In turn, they are investing billions of dollars abroad. The collapse in international export markets that accompanied the global financial crisis of 2009 initially hit China hard. But they stand strong their economy and quickly returning to growth. In 2011, China formally overtook Japan to become the world's second-largest economy. Todays, the connection between China's economy and global economy is becoming tighter. In addition, more foreigners have expressed their admirations on China's economic achievements. They generally believe that the global economic development cannot go without China. The healthy and steady economic development of China is a huge contribution to the world. As the globalization is accelerating, the mutual dependence between China's economy and global economy has also strengthened. China is developing its transformation of economic growth mode and its economic structural adjustment. China's economic development is also becoming steadier and injecting new energy into the regional and global economy.
