On June 3, 2025, IBA Japan welcomed over 200 members and guests to our Summer Reception.
One of two annual receptions hosted by IBA Japan, the summer gathering offers an informal setting focused on networking and open exchange among members and industry stakeholders. The year-end reception typically follows the Annual General Meeting.
In his welcoming address, IBA Chairman Alberto Tamura reflected on recent developments and ongoing progress across the Association. He highlighted closer engagement with key industry partners and initiatives such as the new secondment program launched in April with the Japanese Bankers Association, which immediately deepened dialogue and mutual coordination. He also noted the continued growth of the Asset Management Sector and the increased level of interaction across IBA Japan’s committees, reflecting the membership’s strong commitment to collaboration and progress.
JBA Chairman Junichi Hanzawa followed in the same vein, highlighting the quality of the relationship between both Associations and encouraging continued interactions.
As always, we were honoured to be joined by senior representatives from the Financial Services Agency, Bank of Japan, Japan Exchange Group, and other key organisations, as well as executives from across our Banking, Securities, and Asset Management Sectors.
Thank you to all our members and guests. We look forward to continuing our shared efforts in the months ahead.
