The main purpose is to protect the public and the economy by ensuring the safety and soundness of the financial system — i.e., to prevent institution failures, preserve confidence in markets, and protect depositors/consumers.
Regulation does this by limiting excessive risk-taking and moral hazard, requiring adequate capital and liquidity, enforcing disclosure and fair-dealing rules, supervising institutions, and providing backstops (e.g., deposit insurance) to reduce the chance of runs and systemic crises.
