Best Answer

The credit crunch is where the cash flow in an economy decreases, during the 2008 recession it's not the best time to buy a car, or invest in the stock market.

A credit crunch effects small run businesses due to the value of shares decreasing - the business's then have the impression that they are losing money. However this is merely a perception of what might be happening, if shares are falling and the Stock Market is losing support, than it's obvious to know that your business's profits/turn-over will also fall, so one needs to understand that you're not actually losing money. The only way to cure an economic 'credit crunch' is by increasing cash flow throughout the economy and by overlooking monetary policies.
