Press Conference By SUZUKI Shunichi, Japan Minister Of Finance And Minister Of State For Financial Services - Quarterly Disclosure System

Date 31/03/2022

Questions and answers:]

Q.

I would like to ask you about the review of the quarterly disclosure system that the Prime Minister Kishida often refers to. Upon delivering a policy speech to the Diet last October and at the current Diet session, the Prime Minister mentioned the idea to review the quarterly disclosure system. The Liberal Democratic Party also makes a campaign pledge for the House of Representatives election to review the system for promoting R&D activities and investment in human resources on a long-term basis. Some express concern about the possibility that quarterly disclosure requirements may lead to so-called short-termism, while others say that the system has already been established and rooted and the review might be perceived as a step backwards in Japanese companies' information disclosure. While this issue will be earnestly discussed at the Financial System Council from now, please provide your view at present regarding why the review of the quarterly disclosure system is necessary at this point in time and about a forecast of future discussions.
