Press Conference by Taro Aso, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, and Minister of State for Financial Services

(Excerpt)

(Tuesday, February 12, 2019, 8:40 am to 8:44 am)

[Opening remarks:]

Today, the Cabinet decision about the Bill to Partially Amend the Act on Emergency Measures for Early Strengthening of Financial Functions has been made. Presentations of opinions by the Board of Audit of Japan and decisions by the House of Councillors and the House of Representatives are calling for paying retained earnings from the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Japan’s Early Strengthening of Financial Functions Account into the national treasury in a timely manner and utilizing these funds to maintain the financial soundness of the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Japan. I would like to ask that deliberations on this bill are begun as soon as possible, as this bill is essential for legal system for these purposes.
