WHAT IS DEREGULATION?
Deregulation is removing legislation and laws imposed by the government
on a particular market.
In simple words, it is the situation where government is not controlling
certain market in any way possible.
Effect of Deregulation
Deregulation in the financial industry was the primary cause of the 2008 financial
crash.
1. Deregulation allowed speculation on derivatives backed by cheap, wantonly-issued
mortgages, available to even those with questionable creditworthiness.
2. Deregulation allowed for the creation and trading of complex financial instruments,
such as mortgage-backed securities and credit default swaps, which were difficult
to value and contributed to the crisis.
3. Deregulation reduced government oversight of the financial industry, allowing
financial institutions to operate with less scrutiny and accountability.
Is deregulation always bad?
Lets see an example to prove that deregulation is not always bad.
Airline deregulation in the US.
In 1978, the US government deregulated the airline industry allowing for an
increase in competition. This resulted in a 33% decrease in the prices of
tickets and helped lower costs airlines and smaller airports.
