Abstract
This paper suggests that bank holding companies are in fact “financial malls.” I demonstrates the problems that they pose for the financial system, not only by size but by inefficient and inappropriate concentration. The article suggests restructuring of bank holding companies by introducing more market discipline to the various “shops” in the mall as well as concentrating services for the purpose of efficiency. The Article concludes with suggestion that rather than imposing a restructure by law it may perhaps be possible to entice managements that look to the long-term future to follow a restructure voluntarily.
