  • Press Conference By Taro Aso, Japan's Deputy Prime Minister, Minister Of Finance, And Minister Of State For Financial Services - Bitcoin

    Date 01/04/2014

    [Questions and answers]

    Q.

    With regard to Bitcoin, I believe the Cabinet today approved a written reply to the Memorandum on Questions submitted by a DPJ member of the House of Councilors. There have been calls even within the ruling party for regulation of Bitcoin, so please let us hear your opinion on the future prospects for regulation.

    A.

    A written reply to the Memorandum on Questions has been approved by the Cabinet, and this will be made publicly available after the Chief Cabinet Secretary has held his press conference; until then, I can only answer questions within a limited scope. Despite this written reply, though, the relevant ministries and agencies are still in the process of gathering information on Bitcoin. We do not yet have a full grasp on the nature and status of Bitcoin, so at the present stage we are trying to acquire these.

    Date 01/04/2014

    Opening statement:

    The Cabinet has approved the Bill to Partially Amend the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act Etc. and the Bill to Partially Amend the Insurance Business Act Etc. The first bill, the Bill to Partially Amend the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act Etc., contains measures for bolstering the supply of risk money as called for under the “JAPAN Revitalization Strategy” and other policies, necessary measures for enhancing trust in Japan’s financial and capital markets following, for example, cases of the misselling of funds in recent years, and so on. The other bill, the Bill to Partially Amend the Insurance Business Act Etc., reflects the fact that business conditions for insurance companies are undergoing great changes, and contains necessary measures for promoting more appropriate solicitation practices by insurance companies etc. and helping them to develop their businesses smoothly. I hope that these bills will be debated and passed by the Diet swiftly.

  • Press Conference By Taro Aso, Japan's Deputy Prime Minister, Minister Of Finance, And Minister Of State For Financial Services - LIBOR Manipulation

    Date 01/04/2014

    Q.

    The US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has filed a lawsuit against 16 major financial institutions worldwide, including the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ and Norinchukin Bank, for illegal manipulation of LIBOR. Do you think the FDIC’s charges are valid, how should Japanese financial institutions respond to this action, and what approach should the Financial Services Agency take?

    A.

    I was a little surprised by the FDIC’s allegations, but I am aware of the news that they have filed this lawsuit. I do not have all the details about whether they have filed a suit against all banks submitting US dollar LIBOR rates. I also have no idea of the amounts for which these banks are being sued. The banks are being sued for the rates they submitted, and I do not know anything more specific than that. Speaking generally on behalf of the Financial Services Agency, I can only say for now that institutions should keep their affairs in order at all times so that they are not successfully sued.
