  ABSTRACT: Prudential regulation is crucial for banking oversight, ensuring sector safety and stability. However, its tools are debated. Comparing literature is key, as banking’s unique characteristics drive regulation. Traditional theories, like state preference and portfolio choice, assume complete and perfect markets, making them ill-suited for banking specifics. New “optimal regulation” models incorporate information asymmetries to better address these specifics, though only partially. This evaluation highlights the need for theoretical approaches that fully account for the unique nature of banking.
