Transparency Regulation in Financial Markets – Moving into the Surveillance Age?

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  20 January 2017

Extract

In the wake of the global financial crisis, the trajectory of legal reforms is likely to turn towards more transparency regulation. This article argues that transparency regulation will take on a new role of surveillance as intelligence and data mining expand in the wholesale financial sector, supporting the creation of designated systemic risk oversight regulators.

The role of market discipline, which has been acknowledged to be weak leading up to the financial crisis, is likely to be eclipsed by a more technocratic governance in the financial sector. In this article, however, concerns are raised about the expansion of technocratic surveillance and whether financial sector participants would internalise the discipline of regulatory control. Certain endemic features of the financial sector will pose challenges for financial regulation even in the surveillance age.

Boss, “The Opaque And Under-Regulated Hedge Fund Industry: Victim Or Culprit In The Subprime Mortgage Crisis?”, 5 NYU Journal of Law & Business (2009), at p. 359, argues that the shortfall lies in insufficient disclosure in some sectors of the financial market, particularly the wholesale sector relating to complex structured products and sophisticated investment sectors such as hedge funds; Richard E Mendales, “Collateralized Explosive Devices: Why Securities Regulation Failed To Prevent The CDO Meltdown, And How To Fix It”, University of Illinois Law Review (2009), at p. 1359, argues that the shortfalls in disclosure pertain to the quality of disclosure and insufficient relevant disclosure being provided of the underlying loan pools supporting the toxic CDOs which have ultimately corrupted banks’ balance sheets.

Boss, “The Opaque And Under-Regulated Hedge Fund Industry: Victim Or Culprit In The Subprime Mortgage Crisis?”, 5 NYU Journal of Law & Business (2009), pp. 359 et sqq. would argue that the quantity of disclosure needs to be increased across the wholesale financial sector in particular.

39 After the fall of Enron, PwC also advocated reform in both quality of disclosure and modus of delivery to better enable information utilisation by the market, see Samuel A. DiPiazza and Robert G. Eccles, Building Public Trust: The Future of Corporate Reporting (NY: John Wiley & Sons 2002), at chapters 1,3, 5 and 7.

40 The excessive reliance on market discipline has been pointed out to be a flaw, as opined in M. Brunnermeier, A. Crockett, C. Goodhart, A.D. Persaud and Hyun Shin, “The Fundamental Principles of Financial Regulation” (Geneva Reports on the World Economy (2009)) and FSA, The Turner Review: A Regulatory Response to the Global Banking Crisis (March 2009), but how should the change in gear move? Mallaby warns against excessive reliance on internal controls, see Sebastian Mallaby, “Capitalism and its Divided Critics”, in the Financial Times (2 Sep. 2010) but there are also pitfalls in relying excessively on regulators, as Part 4 will discuss.
