Credit Crunch is coming for the U.S. that'll Tip the Economy into Recession, 'Dr. Doom' Economist Nouriel Roubini Warns

The U.S. is heading for a credit crunch that'll tip the economy into recession, according to “Dr Doom” economist Nouriel Roubini.

The U.S. is heading for a credit crunch that'll tip the economy into recession, according to “Dr Doom” economist Nouriel Roubini. The New York University professor warned the turmoil hitting the US banking sector is only going to get worse, speaking in a recent Fox Business interview. “That credit crunch is going to make the likelihood of a recession, a hard landing, much greater than before,” he said.

Roubini — who predicted the 2008 economic slump — zeroed in on the troubles at smaller US regional lenders in the wake of Silicon Valley Bank's collapse, which face large outflows of deposits as worried customers pull their money and park it elsewhere.

Given that lack of confidence and the pressure on deposits, many believe those banks are likely to make it more difficult for consumers and businesses to secure a loan — otherwise known as a credit crunch.
