The International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (ISDA) welcomes the opportunity to make comments to the Financial Services Agency (the “JFSA”) on the draft of the “JFSA’s supervisory approaches – Replacing checklists with engagement -” (the “Policy”).
ISDA strongly supports the Policy aimed at the balance between: (i) financial stability and effective intermediation and (ii) market integrity and vigor, as the basic goals of financial regulation. Similarly, in the United States, a series of reports titled “A Financial System That Creates Economic Opportunities” have been issued to the President by the United States Department of the Treasury since last June, which aim at the financial regulatory reform in the balanced views. Under the international direction going toward the development of balanced financial regulatory systems, ISDA recognizes that the Policy goes on the leading edge of such international direction and set the good precedents of an appropriate regulatory system to the other countries. ISDA would be grateful for the chance to work with the JFSA in a more multifaceted manner as an international industrial organization for sound and effective market revitalization in light of factors such as “industry initiatives” and “domestic policy formation and the global regulatory reforms” presented in the Policy.
While ISDA endorses the JFSA’s innovative Policy as mentioned above, we have the comments on a few specific points, for your attention and consideration.
