[ investment bank are medium of stock market from which company sell the share and took money , they also help in mergers and acquisitions of company, selling derivatives and trading of derivatives . examples - morgan stanly] so , investment bank started buying loan from bank snd combine them in CDO [collatenlised debt obligations] investment bank gives CDO to credit agencies for rating it [ they gave AAA ratings to most of them ] then investment bank sells this CDO to investors . Loan risks were increasing because of all this [ bank passed loan risk to investment bank and they passed it to CDO investors ] . Credit agencies give most of CDO AAA ratings which mean it's safe so , CDO investors were buying this in bulk which increases the demand so , investment bank were asking more loan to bank but bank were already giving loan to people we can pay it back but now bank were giving loan to people which maybe repay the loan [ they are called sub prime loan ] bank wants to earn commission from investment bank so , they don't verify the people to whom they were giving loan .
