I will escape financial disaster in banking crisis? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

run

'banking crisis?' is the definition.
(as in a run on the banks)

'i will escape financial disaster' is the wordplay.
'will escape' is a deletion indicator.
'financial disaster' becomes 'ruin' (financial ruin).
'ruin' with 'i' removed is 'RUN'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for run that I've seen before include "Move fast or manage" , "Unbroken series" , "publish" , "Ladder - manage - sprint - flow" , "travel with > expedition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
