| Abstract: | The financial sector is highly regulated in most market economies. The requirement that banks, and other financial institutions, hold a minimum level of capital in relation to their assets is just one of the many instruments that the regulatory authorities use to constrain the behaviour of financial institutions. The primary economic rationale for intervention in any market, and thus in the financial markets, is the existence of what is termed in public and theory as "market failure". |
