US Banking Collapse ‘Imminent’ Warns French Banking Giant
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
French banking giant Société Générale Group, through its subsidiary SG CIB, the 3rd largest corporate and investment bank in the Euro zone, has warned today in a confidential report that the American banking system is in danger of ‘imminent collapse’ due to the hedge fund failures at US banking giant Bear Stearns, a fear that is also being voiced in America, and as we can read as reported by the New York Times News Service:
"The two big Bear Stearns hedge funds that neared collapse last week were full of tricky investments tied to subprime mortgages. To try to ensure that hundreds of billions of dollars worth of similar investments don’t also plummet, endangering the financial system, Congress may finally have to do more to help lower-end borrowers. That, in turn, would prop up the investments based on their mortgages."
Though the United States Securities and Exchange Commission has opened an ‘informal’ investigation into the collapse of the Bear Stearns hedge funds, SG CIB warns in their report that a ‘series of cascading events’ leading to the ‘insolvency’ of the American banking system is now being ‘unleashed’, and as confirmed by Britain’s Telegraph News Service:
"The United States faces a severe credit crunch as mounting losses on risky forms of debt catch up with the banks and force them to curb lending and call in existing loans, according to a report by Lombard Street Research.
The group said the fast-moving crisis at two Bear Stearns hedge funds had exposed the underlying rot in the US sub-prime mortgage market, and the vast nexus of collateralised debt obligations known as CDOs.
"Excess liquidity in the global system will be slashed," it said. "Banks' capital is about to be decimated, which will require calling in a swathe of loans. This is going to aggravate the US hard landing."
