THE WORLD ECONOMIC CRISIS AND ITS IMPACT ON THE SOCIOECONOMIC SITUATION IN KAZAKHSTAN
Abstract
The world financial crisis, which began with the collapse of the U.S. credit pyramid, is known to be the biggest crisis since the Great Depression.1
The first signs of the crisis appeared in the U.S. mortgage market in 20062 (housing loans were not being repaid), and shortly afterwards this market collapsed, triggering a global liquidity crisis. Housing prices in the U.S. plummeted, investments in housing construction fell, and the liquidity of the mortgage derivatives market began to decline. All of this took place against the background of a jump in credit spreads in money markets; the stocks of international companies plunged, and stock indexes fell significantly4 due to the bankruptcy of major financial institutions, primarily investment banks.5
Against the background of rising unemployment and tightening credit, the increase in U.S. consumer spending ceased in the second quarter of 2008 (for the first time since 1991).6
In the third quarter of 2008, investors withdrew $20 billion from investment funds in developing countries for fear that the crisis might cause a recession in these countries.7
The U.S. economy’s failure to cope with the escalating financial crisis was probably caused by the specific features of this economy

In the early 2000s, American lobbyists from Wall Street developed a mortgage loan scheme for borrowers with a less than perfect credit history. Such loans came to be known as “subprime loans”; active lending in this segment began in 2003, and in the first three years loans were offered on easy terms. In 2006-2007 payments increased; coupled with an in-crease in unemployment this led to mass eviction of people from their homes because of bankruptcy. To this was added a sharp drop in the value of derivatives backed by these loans due to mass bankruptcies of borrowers. The crisis was in full swing [http://www.utro.ru/articles/2009/02/09/796535.shtml], 25 June, 2009.
