IBA Japan began the year with two engaging seminars, bringing together industry experts and members to examine the geopolitical, regulatory, and market developments shaping the financial sector.
✅ Statecraft, Sanctions Policy, and Japan’s Economic Security in 2025
With a new U.S. administration taking office, Dr. Shaun Ketch (Deloitte) provided an in-depth analysis of the evolving U.S. economic security policies, including the expanded role of CFIUS and shifts in sanctions enforcement. The session explored key implications for financial institutions in Japan, with a lively discussion on the potential impact of these developments.
✅ Challenges in Japan’s Asset Management Industry (日本語開催)
Deloitte experts Hirokazu Ina, Tomoko Sakai, Hiroshi Maeda, Hikaru Saito, and Hirokazu Yoshida led a comprehensive discussion on regulatory, legal, and tax challenges in Japan’s asset management sector. Key topics included middle and back-office outsourcing, digital assets, and alternative investments, with participants actively engaging in discussions on the evolving landscape.
We extend our sincere appreciation to our speakers for sharing their expertise and to our venue hosts for their support in making these discussions possible. IBA Japan looks forward to continuing to provide insightful and meaningful events throughout 2025.
