Abstract

The financial crisis in which the world has been living since the summer of 2007 has shown the importance of the financial sector for the proper functioning of economies. For the European countries the financial crisis has signified a reduction in the volume of credit granted, decreased activity in international markets and an increase of risk and instability. Financial entities have seen how they have had to change their way of operating, adapting to a situation in which difficulties exist in obtaining finance in international markets, both in volumes and in terms of interest rates, and in which the levels of risk are substantially higher. Moreover, financial entities’ degree of risk aversion has increased considerably, which has translated into a hardening of credit conditions.
