The Lehman collapse in September 2008 punctured the European housing/construction boom. A combination of automatic fiscal stabilisers and Keynesian stimuli led to sharply increasing fiscal deficits and rising debt ratios.

The worse the fiscal position, the more threatened was the solvency of the banking system, and vice versa.
