Minister skarbu Henry Paulson powiedział 9go października, 2008, że ma upoważnienia używania, ostatnio zatwierdzonego funduszu 700 miliardów dolarów, na ratowanie gospodarki USA, za pomocą inwestowania w kluczowych bankach. Podobnie dzieje się w W. Brytanii gdzie rząd inwestuje 87 miliardów dolarów w takich bankach, jak Royal Bank of Scotland, HSBC oraz Barclays. Rząd Irlandii już przejął kontrolę nad bankami irlandzkimi.
