CHARTING THE FINANCIAL CRISIS

U.S. Strategy and Outcomes

January 2020

at BROOKINGS Introduction

The global !nancial crisis and of 2007–2009 constituted the worst shocks to the United States economy in generations. Books have been and will be written about the housing bubble and bust, the !nancial panic that followed, the economic devastation that resulted, and the steps that various arms of the U.S. and foreign governments took to prevent the Great Depression 2.0. But the story can also be told graphically, as these charts aim to do.

What comes quickly into focus is that as the crisis intensi!ed, so did the government’s response. Although the seeds of the harrowing events of 2007–2009 were sown over decades, and the U.S. government was initially slow to act, the combined e"orts of the Federal Reserve, Treasury Department, and other agencies were ultimately forceful, #exible, and e"ective. Federal regulators greatly expanded their crisis management tool kit as the damage unfolded, moving from traditional and domestic measures to actions that were innovative and sometimes even international in reach. As panic spread, so too did their e"orts broaden to quell it. In the end, the government was able to stabilize the system, re-start key !nancial markets, and limit the extent of the harm to the economy.

No collection of charts, even as extensive as this, can convey all the complexities and details of the crisis and the government’s interventions. But these !gures capture the essential features of one of the worst episodes in American economic history and the ultimately successful, even if politically unpopular, government response.

22 U.S. STRATEGY Among the key elements of the U.S. policy response were:

Use of the Fed’s lender-of-last-resort authorities beyond the banking system, for investment banks and funding markets.

An expansive use of guarantees to prevent runs on money market funds and a broad array of !nancial institutions.

An aggressive recapitalization of the !nancial system, in two stages, backed by expanded FDIC guarantees.

A powerful use of monetary and !scal policy to limit the severity of the recession and restore economic growth.

A broad mix of housing policies to prevent the failure of the GSEs, slow the fall of home values, lower mortgage rates, and aid in re!nancings.

An extension of dollar liquidity to the global !nancial system, combined with international cooperation and Keynesian stimulus.

23 U.S. STRATEGY The U.S. government’s initial response to the crisis was gradual, and the tools were limited and antiquated because they were designed for traditional banks.

TOOLS AVAILABLE NO AUTHORITY

*Agencies are debt securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. federal agencies or GSEs; agency MBS are mortgage-backed securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. federal agencies or GSEs. 24 U.S. STRATEGY But the response became more forceful and comprehensive as the crisis intensi!ed and Congress provided new emergency authority.

73 OUTCOMES This was a terribly damaging crisis. It did not need to be so bad.

The damage illustrates the costs of running a !nancial system with weak oversight, and of going into a crisis without the essential tools for aggressive early action to prevent disaster.

The recovery was slow and fragile, made slower by the premature shift to tighter !scal policy.

Even after repairing the immediate damage, the U.S. economy still faces a number of longer-term challenges, with causes that predated the crisis.
