Financial System Stability, Regulation, and Financial Inclusion
Financial authorities face a number of key challenges, including maintaining financial stability; ensuring long-term finance for stable economic growth; promoting greater access to financial services for both households and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs); and fostering a competitive financial industry.

Japan
The Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) carried out a targeted evaluation of issues relating to the effectiveness of banking supervision and regulation in Japan. The scope of the work focused on the key findings from the 2017 Basel Core Principles (BCP) Detailed Assessment Report (DAR) and the transformation of the supervisory approach by the Financial Services Agency (FSA) undertaken since the last FSAP. The overall conclusion of the 2017 DAR was that the supervisory framework was generally sound, but some key priority areas were identified as needing to be addressed. This note reviews progress made in these areas as well as examining the fundamental shift to a more risk-focused, principles-based supervisory approach than before.
Roles of Financial Institutions and Credit Guarantees in Regional Revitalization in Japan

Japan
Weak growth and low interest rates, together with underlying demographic headwinds, are posing chronic challenges for the financial system. Despite accommodative financial conditions, sluggish domestic demand have dampened investment and domestic credit growth. Combined with low interest rates and a flat yield curve, these factors are posing a sustained challenge for the financial system—one of the largest and most sophisticated in the world. To a significant extent, factors behind this environment are structural in nature, reflecting in particular demographic headwinds. Profitability of banks and life insurers is low, and net interest margins are shrinking. Since many advanced economies are likely to face similar headwinds in the future, the importance of Japan’s response to these challenges extends beyond its borders.

Japanese securities firms consist of a very heterogeneous group of firms, ranging from major global players to purely domestic firms that conduct only limited activities. At one end, the firms include two major independent securities groups designated as Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs) as well as the securities subsidiaries of the Japanese megabanks that are G-SIBs. Foreign-owned securities firms that are part of global G-SIB banking groups also have a significant presence in Japan, accounting for more than half of the trading value at Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE). The rest of the almost 2,000 firms range from very small investment advisers to medium-sized firms providing Internet-based trading services to retail clients.
