The problems in the US residential mortgage market and associated banklosses triggered the turbulence. This box looks at the structure of the US residential mortgage market and the background for the problems. The nominal value of mortgage loans in the US is estimated at about USD 10.2 trillion at end-2006. About 55% of mortgage loans have been packaged into portfolios and furnished as collateral for securities that are sold to investors worldwide. The market forsecurities backed by US residential mortgages is larger than the US government bond market, and accounts for about 10% of the global debt securities market at the end of 2006.

The default rate for this class of loans is much higher than for prime mortgages. Since 1998 the rate has varied between 10-15% (see Chart 2). In the second quarter of 2007, the rate was close 15%. At such a high rate of default, lenders will regularly have to realise thecollateral furnished.
