financial deregulation
Loosening market oversight
Financial deregulation is the reduction or removal of government rules governing banks, markets, and other financial institutions.
Advocates argue it promotes competition and efficiency; critics blame it for enabling reckless behavior that led to crises like the 2008 collapse.
The financial deregulation of the 1980s transformed Wall Street.
