Here are the details of the announcements by the Japanese Government on the 27th of November. These have already been widely covered by the Japanese and non-Japanese media. At this time, we do not have an English version of the documents available.
IBA Japan and our members join the Japanese people in mourning the tragic loss of life that followed the devastating earthquake that struck northeastern Japan at 2:46 pm on March 11, 2011, and the even more devasting, Tsunami that followed.
No words can adequately express the feelings that each year’s anniversary brings upon those affected.
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.
