Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

The three critical factors were the evolution of new and innovative financial products, the integration of financial markets globally combined with the high rates of savings that were coming out of markets that had not participated significantly in the past., and deregulation. New and innovative financial products evolved including securitization, where large numbers of loans are grouped together and shares of the package are sold to virtually anyone, anywhere. These crossed borders easily and the purchasers lose money if the loans cannot be repaid, but it was often difficult to accurately access risk and for regulators to understand and to keep up with the innovations. In general, there was a failure in regulation as the tremendous amount of innovation of instruments and integration of markets evolved. Close regulation was generally not perceived to be in the national interest as it would reduce innovation and efficiency.
