Information asymmetry leads to moral hazard in commercial banks, as evidenced in the 2008
crisis. This study aims at analyzing the implications of risk disclosure practices of commercial
banks on their risk-taking behavior in Pakistan. It also attempts at assessing the level of
compliance for commercial banks with the specifications of Basel accord II under Pillar 3.
For measuring disclosure level, a risk disclosure index is devised. The dependent variable i.e.
risk-taking behavior is operationalized through portfolio risk. The analysis employed panel
data techniques of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). The relationship of risk disclosure index
with risk-taking behavior, as expected, is found to be significantly negative; in line with information asymmetry and moral hazard hypotheses. These discoveries are consistent with the
essence of market discipline that greater disclosure enables stockholders to more closely
monitor and scrutinize, resulting in contrived and sensible risk taking. The results of the study
provide evidence on the current state of market discipline and the vital part it plays in the
risk-taking behavior of Pakistani commercial bank. This study is also significant for the
regulators, and financial managers, that need adequate information for making informed
decisions. As the results empirically confirm the issue of non-disclosures with an intent to take
higher risks, in commercial banks of Pakistan. In the light of this study, the policy makers can
strengthen regulations that govern risk disclosure practices, in order to uphold market
discipline, realizing the ultimate objective of State Bank of Pakistan and Basel Committee for
Banking Supervision.
