banking crisis
Lenders in trouble
A banking crisis occurs when a significant number of banks in a country or region face severe financial distress simultaneously, often triggering bank runs, failures, or government bailouts.
Such crises typically stem from excessive risk-taking, bad loans, or broader economic shocks that erode confidence in financial institutions.
The effects ripple through the economy as credit tightens and businesses struggle to borrow.
The 2008 banking crisis led to unprecedented government interventions worldwide.
