financial collapse
Markets in freefall
Financial collapse is the sudden failure of a financial system, institution, or economy.
Banks close, markets crash, currencies lose value, and credit disappears.
The term applies at various scales—a single firm's collapse, a national banking crisis, or a global meltdown like the 2008 financial crisis: The housing bubble's burst triggered a worldwide financial collapse.
