Dr. Laeven's comment on this article
Dr. Laeven has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"The list of 21st century crises is missing the 2010 Greek financial crisis and the 2010 Cypriot financial crisis

I would likst 2008 and 2009 United Kingdom bank rescue package as one crisis: 2008 United Kingdom financial crisis

I would rewrite: A banking crisis is a financial crisis that affects banking activity with: A banking crisis is a financial crisis that negatively affects banking activity"

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

Dr. Laeven has published scholarly research which seems to be relevant to this Wikipedia article:

Dear author of the monography, I think it could be better to show in the picture the relative number of countries with banking crises over the total of countries rather than the absolute number, because the number of countries has increased in the last decades and this distort the data view.

Thank you very much, an economist
