Introduction 1. Since the late 1990s, financial institutions accelerated a process of reorganisation, as a result of factors such as (i) financial infrastructure development through progress in the financial system reform, etc., (ii) the necessity of dealing with the non-performing loan problem, (iii) the legalisation of reorganisation schemes, including holding companies, to realise business strategies. Against these contexts, the major banks leading Japan at the time converged into 3 mega bank groups by the middle of 2000s. 2. In this paper, we would like to summarise the progress of regulatory reforms in the financial sector in Japan and the process of reorganisations of financial institutions, after which we will introduce the views of competition law and policy followed by cases regarding reorganisations in the banking sector since the late 1990s.
