Should regulators reveal information about banks?

Yaron Leitner

Business Review, 2014, issue Q3, 1-8

Abstract: Regulators collect and produce information about banks. This information helps regulators monitor the safety and soundness of the banking system, and it also helps policymakers preserve financial stability. A key issue is whether this information should be made public and, if so, to what extent. In this article, we will explore some of the tradeoffs involved.
