Rethinking the Regulatory Response to Risk-Taking in Banking

In considering reforms to promote the health and efficiency of our financial services industry, the critical focus should be on revamping the current system of deposit-insurance pricing and coverage. These reforms should emphasize greater reliance on market forces and less reliance on the regulatory apparatus, while retaining the advantages of a multiple-agency framework.
