  2. Why the Banking Industry Is Regulated • Banks hold money. Banks provide credit. • The government focuses on information problems and liquidity risk. • Bank run: many depositors withdraw their deposits and the bank’s funds are exhausted. • Contagion: spreading of bad news about one bank to include other banks. • Bankers’ private information limits depositors’ ability to sort out weak banks.

  3. Government Intervention in the Banking Industry • Federal Reserve was created to serve as a lender of last resort and issue currency. Since 1863 limits on banks’ ability to open branches have been imposed. • Numerous bank failures led to the creation of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. • Moral hazard problems caused by bank insurance increased the need for monitoring. • Interest rate ceilings (Regulation Q) were intended to buttress bank profits.
