Geography

Aneli [31]3 years ago

Answer:

Subprime lending is the practice of lending to borrowers who have poor credit-ratings. In other words, borrowers who are very likely to default on their debts.

Explanation:

With the expansion of subprime leding due to expansionary fiscal and monetary policies, banks got many risky assets that created a bubble. The bubble burst out and generated the Great Recession of 2007-2008.

Because so many clients could not pay their debts, banks saw their assets diminish while their liabilities rose quickly. This not only led to a credit crunch due to the poor financial health of the banks, but also the loss of viability for many banks. This is why the government had to step in, and in conjunction with the Federal Reserve, provide billions of dollars in relief for financial institutions.

skad [1K]
B. canadian territories are under a constitutional monarchy

Canada still exists such that the Queen of England is the head of state or formal representative of canada. However they are protected by a constitution and act as an independent nation with a head of government (the prime minister) taking care of actual governmental affairs. The queen does not have direct power in the same manner as the prime minister hence the division head of state vs head of government.
