History

Historical Context

The 2008 financial crisis, triggered by the collapse of the U.S. housing bubble, led to a global recession marked by significant stock market declines. In 2009, the European Union's GDP contracted by 4.5%, impacting major firms like Deutsche Bank. Today, ongoing fluctuations in indices like the Stoxx 600 reflect the lasting effects of this crisis on investor sentiment and economic strategies.
