The events of 9/11 presented the financial industry with the
greatest operational crisis in its history. Key officials were
killed; others could not be located. Primary and backup sites were
unavailable or inadequate. Massive amounts of critical data were
lost, and there was a crushing inability to communicate, locate or
verify information. It was not known for a time which firms could
participate in the markets and to what degree, nor was it clear to
what extent certain markets had been damaged and when they should
reopen. Nor could the human impact of the 9/11 events be divorced
from the business issues. Those grappling to restore the markets
had to cope with their own feelings of anxiety, shock and loss, and
to deal with a uniquely horrific blend of personal and professional
difficulties. This book tells of the regeneration of the U.S.
markets, day by day, immediately following 9/11, with a focus on
the U.S. Government securities market. The bottom line is that 9/11
brought the most important financial market in the world - the one
looked to by investors globally for safety in times of trouble - to
the brink of paralysis. The crisis was ultimately resolved through
the willpower and wisdom of groups of disparate individuals,
accompanied by an unprecedented climate of cooperation among fierce
competitors that embodied the American spirit at its finest.
