    Looking back: Wall Street, a year later
    [ 2009-09-18 16:19 ]

     

    American taxpayers still own a large share of some big financial companies; Obama uses the anniversary of the Lehman failure to again call for new rules.

    This is the VOA Special English Economics Report.

    One year ago, the United States financial system was in danger of collapse. One of Wall Street's oldest investment houses had just sought protection from its creditors. The Lehman Brothers bankruptcy on September 15th was a shock to the system, but not the only one.

    Looking back: Wall Street, a year later

    A week earlier, the government had seized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These companies help finance most American housing loans. And one day after Lehman's failure, the government decided that the huge insurer A.I.G. was too big to fail. The Federal Reserve rescued the American International Group with an 85 billion dollar loan.

    But soon, credit markets around the world slowed to a halt on fears about the health of banks. By early October, Congress passed the Troubled Asset Relief Program, a rescue plan for the financial system.

    Banks and other financial companies have received more than 200 billion dollars. But ten banks agreed in June to repay almost 70 billion of that. And so far, the government has earned about four billion on its investments.

    But taxpayers still own almost 80 percent of A.I.G. They also hold big shares of Citigroup and a number of other banks, as well as 60 percent of General Motors.

    On Monday, the anniversary of the Lehman collapse, President Obama renewed his call for reform of financial supervision. He said in a speech on Wall Street that some of the "old ways" that led to the crisis have already returned.

    BARRACK OBAMA: "That's why we need strong rules of the road to guard against the kind of systemic risks we have seen. And we have a responsibility to write and enforce these rules to protect consumers of financial products, to protect taxpayers, and protect our economy as a whole."

    Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said Tuesday that the recession "is very likely over at this point." But he said the labor market could remain weak through next year.
