Abstract:
This dissertation has been compiled in the course of the postgraduate degree of Law and European Union, which coincided chronically with the global finacial crisis of 2007-2009 that has been considered by many leading economists, as the worst financial crisis after the Great Depression of 1930. In this essay, we wish to explore the extend to which the innovative, financial tool of securitization of assets and its misuse have been a significant factor to the causation and expansion of the crisis in the global economy. Furthermore, we examine why the existing regulatory framework of prudential supervision was not sufficient to prevent such abuse and diminish the impact that the crisis in the financial sector had to the real economy worldwide.
