MISSION STATEMENT
The International Bankers Association (IBA) seeks to foster and promote cooperation among financial groups, banks, securities firms, and representative offices in Japan; to promote the growth and positive development of banking and capital markets in Japan; and to advance the interests of its membership in the Japanese market. The IBA is the only association exclusively devoted to representing and advancing the interests of the international financial community in Japan.
We work closely with government authorities, regulators, and non-governmental bodies in Japan. These organizations include the Financial Services Agency, the Ministry of Finance, the Bank of Japan, the Japanese Bankers Association, and the Japan Securities Dealers Association.
We seek to make available to these authorities and market participants the collective knowledge and experience of our member firms. The IBA currently has 62 financial institutions, spanning international financial groups, commercial banks, securities firms and representative offices.
The IBA seeks no regulatory or quasi-regulatory role in Japan.
