Svetovna ekonomija je bila močno prizadeta zaradi globalne finančne krize. Ta je imela izvor v enem izmed najrazvitejših finančnih trgov na svetu. V drugi polovici leta 2008 je povzročila kolaps finančnih trgov povsod po svetu. Borzni indeksi so strmo padali, propadale so finančne institucije in kreditna sposobnost na trgu je bila povsem na dnu. Iz ZDA se je kriza bliskovito razširila v Evropo, kjer je pustila globoke rane na skoraj vseh finančnih institucijah. Propadale so banke, zavarovalnice in druge institucije, ki upravljajo s financami. Velike izgube na finančnem trgu so privedle do velikega nezaupanja le-tem. Poenostavljeno rečeno si banke med seboj niso več zaupale in to je pripeljalo do zastoja transakcij in do zmanjšanja kreditne aktivnosti. Tudi Slovenija in Slovaška, kot dve mladi odprti gospodarstvi, nista ostali nedotaknjeni v času globalne finančne krize. Banke obeh držav sicer niso utrpele tako hudih izgub ali beležile tako masovnih bankrotov kot drugod po svetu. Prizadeti sta bili s strani upada likvidnosti, zmanjšanja kreditne sposobnosti in upada proizvodnje. Tudi odpuščanja so bila pogostejša v podjetjih, ki so bila v veliki meri osredotočena na izvoz, kar je povečalo brezposelnost v obeh omenjenih državah. Reševanju krize so se pridružile centralne banke in druge finančne institucije s svojimi paketi za omilitev vpliva finančne krize. World economy was very much infected by the global financial crisis. The roots of crisis came from the most developed financial market in the world. In the second part of the year 2008 the crisis triggered the collapse of financial markets all over the world. Stock market indexes all over the world were decreasing very fast, financial institutions and loan activity was completely crushed. The crisis spread from USA to Europe very fast, and left very deep wounds on all financial institutions. The banks, insurance companies and other financial institutions were getting bankrupt. Big losses on the financial markets brought us to the point where the trust into a market was at the very low point. Simply said, the trust among banks was very low, so the logical result is the decrease of loan activity. Slovenia and Slovakia as two young opened economies were not left unaffected in the time of global financial crisis. Banks in both countries did not record massive losses or bankruptcies as in the rest of the world’s countries. The countries were affected in liquidity, decrease of loan activity and decline of production. Also the unemployment was getting higher in the companies which were mostly focused on export. Central banks and other financial institutions, are trying together with special packages to decrease the impact of the financial crisis.
