/AP/ The Senate passed a revamped $700 billion financial bailout bill Wednesday amid increasing fears that the already-sagging U.S. economy could collapse without it.
The bill for the ailing financial sector was reworked after the House of Representatives unexpectedly rejected it Monday, sparking panic selling in stock markets in the United States and elsewhere.
The financial crisis erupted in August last year as a result of the U.S. subprime mortgage meltdown and has since forced companies to write off tens of billions of dollars in related losses and has dampened global economic growth.
