toxic assets


Definition
Assets that have significantly declined in value, which no one will no longer buy. After the subprime mortgage crisis in the late 2000s, many of these mortgages became considered toxic assets. In this specific situation, the government has intervened by creating the Public-Private Investment Program, which is going to purchase back a significant portion of these toxic assets.
