Press Conference by Taro Aso, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, and Minister of State for Financial Services
(Excerpt)
(Friday, April 7, 2017, 9:02 am to 9:14 am)
[Questions and answers:]
- Q.
-
I would like to ask about Toshiba. There have been some questions raised about the possibility that next week’s financial statement release will again be postponed, and I would like to hear your views on a listed company having to further delay information disclosure.
- A.
-
We can only speculate about the circumstances at the moment and, since I am not sure of these, I must refrain from commenting. In any case, April 11 has been set as a deadline, so I certainly hope to see the company deal with the situation properly.
- Q.
-
Do you believe that topics involving Toshiba such as the sale of Toshiba’s semiconductor business or Westinghouse filing for Chapter 11 protection will be brought up in Japan-US economic dialogue?
- A.
-
The details of these talks are still being coordinated, so nothing has yet been decided. In addition, although this matter is outside my jurisdiction, those topics concern the operations of a particular company, and I would hardly expect issues regarding a particular company to be taken up for discussion in an economic dialogue.
