IBA Japan Statement on restrictions on the re-entry into Japan of non-Japanese nationals during the COVID-19 Pandemic

The International Bankers Association of Japan (IBAJ) represents 53 major non-Japanese global banking groups operating in Japan. We work closely with the Japanese financial authorities such as the Ministry of Finance, the Bank of Japan, and the Financial Services Agency. We also collaborate with the self-regulatory organizations including the Japan Securities Dealers Association and the Tokyo Stock Exchange in addition to other trade organizations such as the Japanese Bankers Association. IBAJ was founded over 35 years ago.

Trends for Banking and Capital Markets in 2015

The financial services industry is on more solid footing than it has been for quite some time. The U.S. economy continues to improve, although concerns remain in both Europe and some emerging markets. Investor sentiment is a bit cautious going into 2015, despite profitability being quite strong in many sectors. As market players continue to strive for growth, two global experts from Deloitte will share with us their outlook for 2015. The presentation will focus on global trends in regulations, risk management, compliance and cybersecurity and share some thoughts about Japan.

Season's Greetings from the IBA Japan Secretariat

All of us at the IBA Japan Secretariat would like to wish all of our members, partners, and friends and your families a pleasant and healthy festive season and throughout the coming year. Thank you for your continued collaboration and support. We look forward to continuing to work with you in 2021. Stay safe, take care. Best seasonal wishes.
