The Center for Financial Stability ("CFS") highlighted the comprehensiveness of an online financial tool: a timeline of "key events before, during, and since" the crisis.

Created by CFS in 2010, the timeline is a free resource to help scholars, students, government officials, market analysts and others "track developments in markets, the financial system and forces that impact financial stability." The timeline links financial markets, private sector institutions and policy responses, and covers more than 1,100 international events from early 2007 to today.

The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
