Highlights
October 2008 will be remembered as the month in which the fallout from the global credit crunch truly fed through into mainstream financial services. Traditional M&A activities stalled as the international banking crisis drove massive global players into turmoil and forced governments to step in and inject capital into the banking sector.
The US government pressed forward with its emergency relief program. The most significant element of this is the voluntary Capital Purchase Program, which made up to $250 billion of capital made available to banks and other financial institutions; a move that has effectively part-nationalised many household names in US financial services.
Europe's governments also decided that recapitalisation by the state was the only way to try and bring an end to the immediate threat to the financial system. The European bailout has seen governments inject capital in return for equity stakes in several of its banks; a subtle but significant difference in approach to that of the US Treasury.
