Due to poor standard of lending there has been raise in subprime loans, the delinquency rate increased in the year 2006-2007 because of subprime loans issued in previous years. The overall rise in delinquency rate is sudden and overwhelming. The market started to response to these high delinquency rates in the second half of 2006 and first half of 2007. In spite of high delinquency rate, market had confidence on highly rated tranches of subprime RMBS (senior tranches). In the second half of 2007 this confidence came to its low when credit rating agencies lowered their rating on highly rated tranches. These downgrades created uncertainty and doubt on quality of rating these rating agencies assigned. With more exposure to risk related to subprime debts, restricted liquidity of banks, the inter market for term loans was effected so there was a sharp increase in risk premium. These authors concluded that banks lost confidence and have less liquidity. This resulted in present financial crisis.

The result of this is freezing all structured finance products and cut down in non confirming mortgages. This is because of those agencies giving non confirming mortgages had lots of loans and RMBS which were not sold. Several financial institutions in the U.S. and abroad were hit with sizable losses owing to their exposures as sponsors of SPVs and underwriters of other structured credit, as well as their direct exposures to subprime-related debt.

Souphala, C and Anthony, P.C , (2006). concluded that lower standard of the way the mortgage loans were issued is the one of the main reasons of financial crisis. (Mason and Rosner, 2007) concluded that US federal government played its role in financial crisis by easing many laws. Souphala, C and Anthony, P.C , (2006) also concluded that degrading senior tranche ratings by rating agencies triggered financial crisis and banks lost confidence and have less liquidity to lend loans.
