La crise financière qui sévit actuellement dans la plupart des pays industrialisés tire son origine de l'effondrement du marché des prêts hypothécaires à risque (subprime) aux États-Unis. [...] Une crise de confiance sévère a ensuite touché les marchés financiers lorsque les titres garantis par ces créances hypothécaires ont été massivement dévalués. [...] Le Canada n'a pas vécu cette crise des prêts hypothécaires à risque, les pratiques de prêts ayant été plus prudentes ici et grâce à une meilleure réglementation. 2, record 1, French, - crise%20des%20pr%C3%AAts%20hypoth%C3%A9caires%20%C3%A0%20risque
