Inaction may stem from his view of reputation as a built-in safeguard of free enterprise.

Why did Alan Greenspan fail to act while the roots of the sub-prime mortgage crisis spread? Here’s one possible explanation: The Ayn Rand disciple held fast to his unwavering laissez-faire beliefs.

Mr Greenspan: ‘A fly-by-night securities operator can quickly meet all the SEC requirements, gain the inference of respectability, and proceed to fleece the public.’

Tuesday’s New York Times carried a front-page article chronicling the many warnings the former Federal Reserve chairman received about aggressive sub-prime lenders luring unsuspecting customers into crazy mortgages they never could afford. ‘Where was Washington?’ the newspaper asked. And where was Alan?

They failed to act on clues to risky loans and default rates.

(WASHINGTON) Until the boom in sub-prime mortgages turned into a national nightmare this summer, the few people who tried to warn federal banking officials might as well have been talking to themselves.

Edward Gramlich, a Federal Reserve governor who died in September, warned nearly seven years ago that a fast-growing new breed of lenders was luring many people into risky mortgages they could not afford.

But when Mr Gramlich privately urged Fed examiners to investigate mortgage lenders affiliated with national banks, he was rebuffed by Alan Greenspan, the Fed chairman.

Hard times: Melbourne-based Centro suspended dividends and said it may have to sell assets after lenders gave it until Feb 15 to renegotiate maturing debt

It said it’s struggling to refinance debt because of the collapse in the US sub-prime housing market.

Investors expect to get glimpse of 2008 outlook from earnings reports of 3 major broking houses.

By many measures, the global credit crisis is back to its worst levels since August. The prospects for a prolonged credit crunch that limits lending to businesses will be hanging like a black cloud over Wall Street this week, despite the efforts of the US central bank, which announced it is coordinating efforts with other central banks to add liquidity through a series of auctions of term funds and currency swap lines to help ease current credit market pressures.

Proposed rate freeze may drag out recession, responsible mortgagees will have to compete for benefits and tax breaks.

‘HELP is on the way!’ is the kind of slogan that should probably be embraced by every US politician ranging from the Republican White House to the Democratic-controlled Congress - all of whom seem to agree that the federal government needs to come with a ‘relief plan’ to help consumers and businesses devastated by the ups and downs of the economy.

Disappointment ahead for those expecting central bank’s plan to solve debt mess.

By PAUL KRUGMAN

On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve announced plans to lend US$40 billion to banks. By my count, it’s the fourth high-profile attempt to rescue the financial system since things started falling apart about five months ago. Maybe this one will do the trick, but I wouldn’t count on it.

Loan crisis: Loss of confidence can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, even depositors who don’t believe the rumour would join in the bank run, trying to get their money out while they can.

Banks in Spain are aggressively curbing loans in fallout from US sub-prime woes.

(MADRID) Julia Gavin sold more than a house a week as the Spanish real-estate boom peaked last year. Now that business is drying up, she’s sharing leads with competitors, reckoning a partial commission is better than none at all.

Crunch amid the calm: Three-quarters of Spain’s 60,000 property companies may end up bankrupt because of a drop in both demand and liquidity, says analyst Fernando Rodriguez de Acuna M

‘We’re up to our ears with work, but no sales,’ said Ms Gavin, 52. ‘It’s horrible.’

Lack of liquidity, concerns over counterparty risk likely to persist.

(LONDON) Investors expect the global credit squeeze to continue beyond the first quarter of 2008, according to the Bank for International Settlements.

Models using derivatives based on money-market rates signal ‘expectations of a persistent lack of liquidity and lasting concerns about counterparty risk,’ the BIS said in its latest quarterly survey.

Basel, Switzerland- based BIS, formed in 1930, monitors financial markets and regulates banks.

‘The bank liquidity crisis has become a more serious problem than sub- prime though both are correlated,’ said Aaron Low, a principal in Singapore at hedge fund Lumen Advisors. ‘The banking confidence factor has affected a broader segment of the economy.’

It expects activity to pick up by 2009 despite oil hikes, US sub-prime crisis.

The world’s leading economies will suffer only a modest slowdown in growth next year with activity picking up again into 2009 despite the fallout from the US sub-prime mortgage crisis, high oil prices and other threats, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development forecast yesterday.

But the OECD acknowledged risks that could upset this ‘benign’ baseline scenario for global growth.
