L’une des causes sous-jacentes de la crise financière a été l’accumulation, dans le système bancaire, d’un effet de levier excessif au bilan et hors bilan. Or, de nombreuses banques ont accumulé un effet de levier excessif tout en présentant de solides ratios de fonds propres fondés sur les risques. Au plus fort de la crise, le secteur bancaire a été contraint par le marché de réduire son effet de levier d’une façon qui a accentué les pressions baissières sur les prix des actifs. 3, record 1, French, - effet%20de%20levier%20excessif
