Despite the increasingly comprehensive oversight and scrutiny of the regulatory bodies over the securities market, the recurrence and severity of market participant failures too often define the perception of the market about the capabilities of their regulatory and supervisory agencies. Each failure raises questions about the ability of regulators and supervisors to protect investors, to guarantee the transparency of transactions and sound functioning of the market and to detect and prevent the recurrence of fraudulent schemes. What have we missed?

We collect detailed information on these policy measuresin a comprehensive database covering 16 countries at a quarterly frequency.

These risks have long been recognized. But, until the global financial crisis in 2008, policy paid limited attention to the problem. The crisis - preceded by booms in many of the hardest-hit countries - has led to a more activist stance.
