Symmetric Information

For markets to work, there needs to be symmetric information i.e. consumers and producers have the same level of knowledge about the products, and they know everything there is to know about them and the effects of consuming them.

Symmetric information occurs when both parties in a transaction have access to the same, complete, and accurate information. In such cases, there is a level playing field where buyers and sellers can make informed decisions.
