They defaulted on a debt to the IMF due to over leveraging and huge public spending and were forced to devalue the currency that was pegged 1 to 1 with the dollar.Originally posted by ratewhore View Post
Getting wind of the devaluation to 3 to 1 people started withdrawing deposits which caused a run on the banks.
HSBC were the first to close its doors - then the rest - then the riots.
Interestingly, they devalued the small amount of mortgages that existed if you bought in Pesos so it cost a third less to service - if you bought in dollars would cost you three times as much in real terms for what you earned.
now they have revalued the Peso mortgages to the precrisis level and those unlucky few have to come up with 3 times as much as they had to pay 3 months ago.Last edited by Fishface; 8 October 2008, 13:29.Comment

Genuine interest too. HSBC is (I think) one of the biggest players in the Asian market and almost owns the Hang Seng. If there is a run in China then it is likely to be affected.Originally posted by snaw View Post
I honestly thought (and have done for years) that HSBC was a Hong Kong based company. It's name, it's logo everything about it suggest it is.I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Be fair, it was born in HK and was a HK registered company for nearly 130 years. You can forgive a guy for not noticing it has been British registered fro a mere 20 cant you?Originally posted by snaw View PostI am not qualified to give the above advice!
