The Japan Financial Services Agency has revised its comprehensive supervision guidelines for financial instruments business operators and related sectors, making technical and procedural updates linked to the enforcement of a cabinet order implementing amendments to the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and the Act on Investment Trusts and Investment Corporations. The package also reflects a review of administrative procedures between the agency and finance bureau supervisory departments. The revisions cover the comprehensive supervision guidelines for financial instruments business operators, trust companies, money lenders and financial services intermediaries. The agency described the changes as consequential adjustments required by the enactment, revision or abolition of other laws and regulations and by orders governing relations between national institutions, and said the statutory public comment procedure was therefore not carried out.
