Bus/Financial - Finance (general) / banking without banks
Italian term or phrase: avvitamento
I risultati: una caotica innovazione tecnologica e finanziaria, operante
attraverso la citata attività bancaria senza banche, mirata a trasformare illiquid
assets immobiliari e debiti, in liquidità fuori da ogni controllo e copertura.
Se gli attivi delle banche USA si sono, dunque, accresciuti del 200%
fra il 1992 e il 2007, i capitali fuori bilancio sono cresciuti del 1558%.
L’indebitamento delle famiglie americane è balzato dal 66.15% del Pil nel
1997, al 99.9% del 2007. I prezzi degli immobili, fatto 100 = 2000, sali-
rono a 220 nel 2006 e, quando nel 2007 la FED rialzò i tassi, la pratica di
“trasformare il piombo in oro” manifestò i suoi effetti deleteri. Le clausole
dei mutui a tasso variabile fecero così precipitare la crisi: le insolvenze dei
sub-prime arrivarono a rappresentare niente di meno che il 50% dei mutui
immobiliari, con la conseguente necessità delle autorità monetarie di
intervenire per bloccare l’avvitamento prodotto da un sistema di banking
without banks come è effettivamente accaduto per le agenzie Fannie Mae e
Freddie Mac e per la AIG nel settembre del 2008
