How Enormous Global Bank Losses Affect the Mortgage Market
By David Jackson of Carpediem Articles
If anybody from the business sector could accurately foresee what is going to entirely happen in the financial markets around the globe, then there is no such thing as losses anymore. They could have come up with effective resolutions and save the industry from damaging losses that are rocking the minds of stockholders, investors, analysts, financial executives, bankers, and other business associates. Most of all, they could have warned that the mortgage market will be terribly hit by this financial storm. Banks from all over the world have declared enormous amounts of losses over the last few years, resulting to a sudden credit crunch in the mortgage industry. The global player and foremost consumer-banking franchise, Citigroup, is one of the surprising US banks with declaration of big losses. Who would expect a bad apple from their system? Bank of America has similarly announced the bad news, where their billion write-downs have been added to its reserves for bad loans. Wachovia has large amounts of losses, too, leading to a slice down of its dividend for the second time this 2008. The Swiss Bank Corp and Union Bank of Switzerland or known as Europe’s UBS AG have also revealed its quarter of sharp losses. The Japanese banks - Sanwa Bank Ltd., The Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan, Industrial Bank of Japan Ltd. - have previously stated that their huge losses were fallout of problem loans and mortgage companies. While in the history of British banking, The Royal Bank of Scotland revealed the biggest loss in banking history. The financial market instability has caused some opposing effects on different regions. According to a Federal report, there has been a positive result though in the retail sales industry, yet some US regions have been experiencing sluggish sales in the automobile and furniture industries. However, the job front seems to have maximized the potentiality of the condition since there has been modest employment increase. Whilst in the area of food pricing, there is a minimum amount of price pressures. Despite the fact that credit crunch has taken its heavy toll on the badly-beaten mortgage industry, it has been said to have limited impact on the rest of the economic activities according to a financial survey. It has been observed that banks have set higher restrictions in obtaining housing loans because of the reported developments in the financial markets. The stable flow of credit is the life blood of economies; so if acquisition becomes a difficult task for everyone, the possibilities that people or companies spend or invest less. Other disturbing effects on the housing markets are the increase of foreclosures and late payments. And with this, the problem on mortgage market has truly deepened and worsened. However, some countries are safe from the misfortune experienced in the financial markets all over the world now. These are countries like Morocco, India, United Arab Emirates, and other Arab nations in the Gulf area regarded as oil producers of the world. The credit crunch spared India and Morocco because of their non-exposure to US economy and even to the economic problems around the world. Meanwhile, for UAE and other Gulf nations, they remain unharmed from the crisis because of their capability to be savings and credit suppliers to the world. Economists believe that economic factors such as tourism expansion, growth of financial services, growth of population, and shortages of supply would help these Arab nations to fill in the demand in their real estate market.
