Press Conference By ASO Taro, Japan's Deputy Prime Minister, Minister Of Finance, And Minister Of State For Financial Services: Climate Change Actions

Date 23/06/2021

Today, G7 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors met virtually. As initiatives to achieve net zero emissions, the Japanese government is planning to amend the Corporate Governance Code with the aim of mobilizing private funds in climate-change measures and to request companies listed on the Prime Market to make disclosure based on the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations. The amount of CO2 emitted in Japan accounts for merely 3% of the global total. Even if Japan eliminates emissions, it will lead to only a 3% decrease globally. Therefore, it is indispensable to have major emitters, which are emitting CO2 at amounts nearly 10 times larger than Japan, involved in the climate-change actions. We would like to continue deliberations at G7 meetings from such perspective.

Consolidated Audit Trail - Bifurcated Cost Allocation Is Inequitable, By Kelvin To, Founder And President At Data Boiler Technologies

Date 22/06/2021

Regarding the Consolidated Audit Trail (CAT)’s funding model, both the original and the revised proposal are like the Financial Transaction Tax. The plan is simply tolling everyone in the industry, which will ultimately be passed-down to the end-investors. We question why the CAT operating committee, a CAT governing body composed of ONLY representatives of the SROs, would hold concentrated power on the Funding Authority as set out in the CAT NMS Plan Exhibit A Article XI §11.1?
