The importance of market discipline has been rapidly growing at both the regulatory and market levels in recent decades. However, firm/system-wide financial failures during the global financial crisis supported the idea of more regulation. The result has been, in the author’s view, excessive or over-regulation at the expense of market discipline and its proven insights. This paper asks whether market discipline could provide an effective tool for firm/system-wide risk management. As an extension of the existing market discipline literature, the paper also attempts to analyse connections between market discipline, disclosure and management of custody risks.
