I have a question concerning the use of dormant deposits. This is currently being discussed by the LDP and New Komeito, but I think there are issues such as the fact that some believe caution should be exercised in the use of the assets of depositors, and the way the administrative burden on financial institutions should be handled. What do you think about using dormant deposits for projects that would benefit the public?

European Commission: Structural Measures To Improve The Resilience Of EU Credit Institutions – Frequently Asked Questions
See also IP/14/85 and MEMO/14/64
What is the proposal about?
The proposed Regulation on structural measures to improve the resilience of EU credit institutionsaims at further strengthening the stability and resilience of the EU banking system. The proposal completes the financial regulatory reforms undertaken over the last few years by setting out rules on structural changes for "too-big-to-fail banks" (TBTF). A bank is considered TBTF when the consequences of its failure are believed to be detrimental for the financial system as a whole. In order to prevent this risk from materialising, the proposal would impose a ban on speculative activities (proprietary trading, i.e. trading using own money as opposed to on behalf of customers) and caters for the potential separation of other risky trading activities carried out by these banks. The proposal builds on the recommendations made by the High Level Expert Group chaired by the Governor of the Bank of Finland, Mr Erkki Liikanen ("Liikanen Group" - see IP/12/1048 and background section of this MEMO).

Structural Reform Of The EU Banking Sector
Today, the European Commission has proposed new rules to stop the biggest and most complex banks from engaging in the risky activity of proprietary trading. The new rules would also give supervisors the power to require those banks to separate certain potentially risky trading activities from their deposit-taking business if the pursuit of such activities compromises financial stability. Alongside this proposal, the Commission has adopted accompanying measures aimed at increasing transparency of certain transactions in the shadow banking sector. These measures complement the overarching reforms already undertaken to strengthen the EU financial sector.
