    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.
