    Solution

    Systemic risk is the risk of collapse of an entire financial system or entire market, as opposed to risk associated with any one individual entity. Systematic risk is inherent to the entire market or an entire market segment. Systematic risk, also known as “undiversifiable risk,” “volatility” or “market risk,” affects the overall market, not just a particular stock or industry. Systemic risk is the possibility that an event at the company level could trigger severe instability or collapse an entire industry or economy. It was a major contributor to the financial crisis of 2008.
