FSA publishes the partial amendment of the Guidelines for Financial Instruments Business Supervision

On February 6, 2008, the Financial Services Agency (FSA) posted on its Website a draft of the partial amendment of the Guidelines for Financial Instruments Business Supervision for public consultation.

As a result of the public consultation, the FSA received approximately 169 comments from 33 organizations and individuals. The FSA appreciates those who took the time to examine the proposed provisions and responded to the consultation.

Taking into account the comments received, the FSA hereby publishes the revised Guidelines for Financial Instruments Business Supervision. Please refer to the attachment for the English translation of the provision with regard to ensuring traceability of the underlying assets of securitised products. (The rest of the revisions can be referred to in the FSA website in Japanese.)

The revised Guidelines for Financial Instruments Business Supervision will become effective on April 2, 2008.
