The IBA is pleased to welcome back Mr. Takafumi Sato, Commissioner of the Financial Services Agency, who spoke to the IBA membership on his vision for the FSA in September 2007.
The FSA’s top official, Commissioner Sato will give a progress report on the FSA’s efforts to implement “better regulation”, one of the priorities since his appointment in July 2007. The FSA’s recently-released report in English outlining the FSA’s progress and its strategies going forward may be found at: http://www.fsa.go.jp/en/news/2008/20080519.pdf.
Commissioner Sato joined the Ministry of Finance (MOF) in 1973 and has held progressively senior positions in the MOF and the FSA. He was Director General of the FSA’s Supervisory Bureau from 2004-2007 and Director General of the Inspection Bureau from 2002-2004. An expert on financial sector issues, Commissioner Sato has authored several books, most recently in April 2007 on Basel II and the implications for bank supervision.
