It is sad people. Public confidence in banks is in tatters now just because of one headline. If you understand about fractional reserve then you will appreciate the grim situation. Basically in a bank run where people decide to withdraw their savings from banks the banking industry undergoes a crisis.
@mawinder is hinting that people are withdrawing from other institutions. It is important to remember that when you put your money in a bank, the bank does not safely tack it away in a safety deposit box! The bank actually gives your money out to others. What's more, with fractional reserve, the bank gives out more than it owns.
Therefore if depositors decide to withdraw, only the first few will be able to get money. At some point it becomes overwhelming for the bank and thus liquidity crisis hinted by @mainat.
It's sad folks if people decide to withdraw in droves.
This is just so you understand the beast called a bank. Not meant to scare you please!
Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.
