## Definition

In the wake of the financial crisis following the subprime crisis in 2009, German institutions initiated a special fund to support banks in a crisis situation. The fund was to be jointly funded by institutions and the government. The proposal was generally rejected because, as a special form of moral hazard, it would encourage the reckless business behavior of individual banks. - See Bailout, Bank Testament, Crisis Management Groups, Minimum Requirements for the Design of Recovery Plans, Asset Levy, Expropriation.
