[Opening Remarks by Minister Matsushita]
I will report on the personnel reshuffle at the Financial Services Agency (FSA).
At today's cabinet meeting, a cabinet order to partially amend the Cabinet Order for Organization of the FSA, which establishes the post of vice commissioner for international affairs (Kokusai-Seisaku-Tokatsukan) that is comparable to the director-general post, was formalized. The new post has been created in light of the importance of international debate on financial regulatory reform, which is a major global challenge, and our international operations, including our response to the European fiscal and financial problems.
Masamichi Kono will be appointed to the new post, effective August 29.
The reshuffle of directors-general and officials with higher ranks at the FSA will be made as shown in the paper distributed to you. Among the officials who will remain in their current posts are FSA Commissioner Hatanaka, Director-General Morimoto of the Planning and Coordination Bureau, Director-General Kuwabara of the Inspection Bureau, Director-General Hosomizo of the Supervisory Bureau, Secretary-General Takeno of the Executive Bureau at the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission, and Vice Commissioner for Policy Coordination Mori.
