Falling beneath the threshold
THE first two weeks of 2012 have been less newsy than the first fortnight of 2011. The impression of growing stress across much of the world economy is nonetheless inescapable. Trouble is brewing. It's been brewing; it's spilling over the brewpot, for god's sake won't someone stop this damned brewing.
The World Bank provides a big picture take on the shaky world economy today, with the release of its Global Economic Prospects report. Global growth is expected to slow slightly in 2012, and the euro-zone economy is forecast to shrink 0.3% for the year. The chart at right gives a sense of how much darker the global picture has grown over the past 7 months. The outlook for the euro zone has deteriorated most rapidly, but diminishing optimism is quite widespread
It's quite difficult to read the World Bank report and not conclude that more downward revisions of expectations are likely to occur. It's chock full of looming risks. The euro area is obviously the point of greatest concern, but other regions are vulnerable and may succumb to crisis pressure. Many emerging markets, the report notes, have less fiscal room to battle a slowdown than was true in 2007. Many will also need to finance plenty of their own debt this year, and could find themselves in significant trouble if ongoing euro problems suck more capital back to the continent.

Financial crisis
The term financial crisis is applied broadly to a variety of situations in which some financial institutions or assets suddenly lose a large part of their value. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many financial crises were associated with banking panics, and many recessions coincided with these panics.
Other situations that are often called financial crises include stock market crashes and the bursting of other financial bubbles, currency crises, and sovereign defaultsMany economists have offered theories about how financial crises develop and how they could be prevented. There is little consensus, however, and financial crises are still a regular occurrence around the world.
