This paper delves into an examination of the three primary interrelated factors that precipitated the subprime mortgage crisis: regulatory deficiencies, policy failures, and dysfunctional innovation. Furthermore, it conducts an analysis of the underlying factors that exacerbated the ramifications of this economic upheaval: the excessive proliferation of securitization, a deficiency in market transparency, inadequate risk management practices within financial institutions, and challenges associated with credit rating agencies. The subprime mortgage crisis has incited extensive discourse across diverse sectors, notably encompassing two pivotal dimensions: firstly, inquiries surrounding the transparency of assets and, secondly, predicaments pertaining to governmental intervention for market stabilization. This article undertakes a comprehensive categorization and in-depth exposition of these discrete issues, proffering meticulous explications corroborated by empirical substantiation. Culminating in its denouement, the article proffers prudent recommendations aimed at preemptively mitigating the advent of future crises. The entire discourse endeavors to maintain an objective and truthful perspective, aiming to explore the fundamental nature of the subprime mortgage crisis rigorously.
