Today, it is estimated that losses in the financial sector could be as high as 1,000 billion dollars, or three times Denmark's domestic product – without comparison, I should add. Both financial enterprises and others have suffered losses, primarily in the USA, but also in Europe.
The greatest losses have been observed in some of the world's largest banks, and one bank has been on the brink of failure. These enterprises have had thousands of highly educated and highly paid employees and managers at their disposal in order to avoid precisely such losses.
