Explanation of Solution

A financial crisis refers to any situation in which an economy’s currency loses its nominal value. There are various factors which lead to a financial crisis. It may occur due to Bank panics, stock market crash, bursting of financial bubbles etc.

A financial crisis occurs when there is financial friction in an economy, which in-turn is due to asymmetric information between borrowers and lenders. When the economy collapses due to financial frictions, it leads to financial crisis. As funds are not being channeled in an economy efficiently between buyers and sellers, it leads to a collapse in the financial economy of a country.
