BBC warns a new financial crisis may be coming

financeApr 29, 20261070

The BBC warns a new financial crisis could be coming, pointing to private credit swelling to about $2.5 trillion, rollbacks of post-2008 bank capital rules, and an expanding, largely unregulated shadow-banking sector. Private credit grew from near zero to roughly $2.5 trillion over the past 15 to 20 years, bringing added leverage, opacity, complexity, and tighter links with traditional banks. Regulators reduced capital buffers while rising AI and tech investment and higher energy costs have left fragile economies and policymakers with limited policy space to respond, increasing the risk of contagion and a broader downturn.

Fresh financial crisis may be coming - it won't play out like the last one. Post-2008 crash reforms reversed. Bank capital requirements reduced. Deregulation mania. Shadow Banks unregulated. Risky lending resumed. No cap on bankers' bonus. AI bubble. Energy price rises. Fragile economies.

It is just a matter of time until the next financial crash and all the team in the White House can do is to work out how to profit from the chaos they are helping to create. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fresh financial crisis may be coming - it won't play out like last one. There is leverage on leverage on leverage. We want to make sure everybody understands how layer cake of leverage adds up, and that's where you don't want to be last person left holding that package. www.bbc.com/news/article...

There are echoes of the global financial crisis in what we're seeing now," she says. "Private credit has gone from nothing to two and a half trillion dollars in the last 15 to 20 years. There is leverage [borrowed money], there's opacity, there's complexity, there's interconnections with the […]

It's less about the financial crisis and more about what you read about the financial crisis on.
