Article 1
Although Myanmar is still closed to foreign banks, major Japanese financial institutions have stepped up their involvement in the country, preparing themselves for the time when the government will give the long-awaited green light to their full-fledged operations.
"Currently we are limited to collecting and providing information in Myanmar, but as a medium-term goal we will certainly be aiming to launch our core financial businesses," said Tetsuya Akutsu, deputy general manager in the international coordination division of Mizuho Corporate Bank.
The bank reopened a representative office in Yangon in early April for the first time since 2003 to help Japanese corporate clients set up business bases in the country.
At present, foreign banks are under strict rules by Myanmar. They can only set up a representative office and are not licensed to do primary operations such as lending, financing, opening bank accounts, accepting deposits or foreign exchange dealings.
Article 2
Economic growth in the first three months of the year was upwardly revised to an annualized 4.7 percent from a preliminary reported 4.1 percent, helped by a milder decline in corporate capital outlays and slightly stronger consumer spending, the government said Friday.
Representing the third straight quarter of expansion of Japan's real gross domestic product, the latest figures underscore that domestic demand has propped up the economy as it recovers from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, an official of the Cabinet Office said.
The office sees no need to change its assessment that the economy is on the way to recovery at a moderate pace, but some economists are wary about the outlook toward the end of the year, when the effect of government policies that have been spurring consumer spending will likely taper off.
Article 3
The Financial Services Agency may impose heavier fines on those who engage in insider trading in light of a spate of recent cases, according to its new chief.
"I am aware that there are people who feel the current fines (against the practice) are too low," Tadahiro Matsushita, the new financial services and postal reforms minister, said during an interview with The Japan Times and other media outlets Thursday.
The government is coming under pressure to take stricter action following a number of insider trading scandals recently, including a case in April involving SMBC Nikko Securities Inc.
"We need to study past incidents and discuss creating tougher regulations, including higher penalties," the new minister said.
