## Definition

In relation to the financial market, the fact that market participants and, above all, supervisory authorities lack essential information about the structure of transactions and/or about the turnover that has taken place. - In the financial crisis that followed the subprime crisis, this circumstance became unpleasantly apparent and prevented, at least in part, the early introduction of compensatory measures on the part of supervisory authorities and governments. - See Elizabeth Question, Financial System, Information, Asymmetric. - Cf. Financial Stability Report 2009, p. 86 (lessons learned from the information gap during the financial crisis).
