shadow banking system
System of non-financial institutions that borrow money in the short term and take that money to invest in long-term assets. Shadow banking systems are able to avoid standard banking regulations through the use of credit derivatives. These are also said to be one of the major problems which contributed to the subprime mortgage crisis around 2007-2008.
