OTHER SERVICES


The IBA carries out its mission in accordance with its Articles of
 Association and by means of the following kinds of activities:

 

 

TRAINING, INFORMATION FORUMS AND WORKING GROUPS

 

Since its 1984 establishment, the IBA has arranged and hosted information meetings and seminars on topics of relevance to its members and their staff. In 2007, the IBA offered 37 information forums, working group meetings and special events for its members. Working Groups are also formed on an ad-hoc basis to address issues that arise over the course of the year.  

 

 

TRANSLATION SERVICE


The IBA offers translation services for members who lack the infrastructure needed to perform the task or who require translated clarifications of key documentation and materials. In 2006, the IBA arranged 15 translations of core materials dealing with Japanese regulations, financial industry trends and other topics. Please check the Translation Lists.

 


INFORMATION EXCHANGE

 

The IBA acts as a two-way clearinghouse for the exchange of ideas and information. It serves as a vehicle for placing before the Government of Japan the views of its members regarding issues affecting its businesses. Moreover, by serving as a repository of highly focused, institutional information from among its global membership, the IBA seeks to represent its membership on Japanese policy-forming committees, study groups, and working groups and to play a positive role in maximizing the Japanese market's potential.

 


GOVERNMENT BRIEFINGS

 

The IBA offers the government a comprehensive forum for briefings to the foreign financial services community. In fiscal 2006, government guest speakers at IBA forums included leaders of the FSA, BOJ, and MOF.
