[Premium] Daily commentary: On burst housing bubbles in Spain, the Netherlands and Denmark

Edward Harrison — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 20:13:28 +0000

Most of the focus these days is on Spain and the periphery – and for good reason.

A Credible Solution to America’s Mortgage Crisis

Niels Jensen — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 12:30:16 +0000

Even in 1813, when the Kingdom of Denmark defaulted, the mortgage bond system survived intact. Even more impressively, the combined loss ratio for all Danish mortgage credit institutions (MCIs) has never exceeded 1% in any one year[7] – a number most other countries can only dream of

Moody’s anticipates continued losses at Danske Bank, SEB, and Swedbank due to large exposure outside of the Nordic markets. In particular, exposure in the Baltics is likely to lead to continued writedowns for Nordic banking institutions.
