  • Press Conference By Tadahiro Matsushita, Japan's Minister For Financial Services - Manipulation Of LIBOR And Possible Manipulation of TIBOR - HSBC Money Laundering

    Date 30/07/2012

    [Questions & Answers]

    Q.

    Last weekend, in relation to the illegal manipulation of interest rates, a media report said that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had requested the Financial Services Agency (FSA) to cooperate in investigation as to whether or not U.S. banks had engaged in illegal practices in relation to TIBOR (Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate). Is that true? If so, how will the FSA respond to the request?

    A.

    I am aware of the media report that you mentioned. As to specific communications between the financial authorities or specific actions by the authorities, including foreign authorities, I would like to refrain from making comments.

    Generally speaking, the FSA has already been cooperating and communicating with foreign authorities as needed and we will continue to cooperate with relevant authorities as needed.

    In any case, I recognize that illegal manipulation of LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) and TIBOR, which are widely used as important benchmark interest rates in the financial market, could undermine the fairness and transparency of the market and obstruct the sound development of the market, so I am keeping a close watch on this matter as a very serious problem.

    As I have repeatedly mentioned, if a problem is recognized, the FSA will take appropriate actions in accordance with laws and regulations.
