Crisis Sentiment Index Worst Since March 2009, Fear at Highest Level Since Survey Began

The Crisis Sentiment Index is a quarterly assessment of the status of the financial crisis by board members, Chief Risk Officers and other C-level executives in companies around the world.

The analysis has proven quite prescient in the past.

• The CSI for September 2011 has plunged 14 points to a reading of 23, the lowest reading since March of 2009
• CSI-Fear, the subindex that measures panic among professionals and the public has deteriorated by 21 points to a reading of 12, five points below the worst reading since we began the survey in September of 2008
• CSI-Banking has fallen 17 points to 19, the worst reading since March of 2009
