The benefits of branching deregulation
Article Abstract:
The enactment of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act in Jun 1997 is expected to produce benefits similar to that accomplished through deregulation of the industry. These include enhanced economic growth, lower loan rates and reduced banking costs. Pertinent provisions of the Act deal with the removal of geographic barriers to bank expansions and the creation of multistate banking franchises. However, the Act's positive impact could possibly be minimal because deregulation has already provided key benefits to the banking industry.
