Future outlook as of May 31, 08
The crisis is not completely over• Compared to Feb. 2007, the foreclosure has increased by 112%
• Compared to Feb. 2007, S&P/Case-Shiller index has dropped by 12.7%,which may trigger more defaults
• S&P 500 dropped by 11.1% (Mar 2007 - Mar 2008)
• GDP: 0.6%
• Inflation 4.3%
Many financial institutions may have quite material write-downsBond insurers may have quite substantial loss due to senior level CDO holdingsFinancial institutions will improve the credit, this will reduce the total available fund, which may slow down the economical growth
