    [Questions & Answers]

    Q.

    First, let me ask you about insider trading related to public offering of new shares. At last week's meeting of the Financial System Council, you asked the council to consider measures to prevent a recurrence of insider trading.

We subsequently shared analysis and suggestions for reform of Libor with the relevant authorities in the UK
