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.

  • A Brave New World for M&A of Financial Institutions in Japan: Big
    A BRAVE NEW WORLD FOR M&A OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IN JAPAN: BIG BANG FINANCIAL DEREGULATION AND THE NEW ENVIRONMENT FOR CORPORATE COMBINATIONS OF FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS ERic C. SIBBITT" 1. INTRODUCTION Japanese financial institutions have long been shackled by a web of legal restriction and labyrinthine regulation that has segmented financial institutions into limited fiefdoms, insularly limiting their ability to compete against one another. The catastrophic result of such daimyo-style regulation1 is evident in the general non-competitiveness of Japanese financial institutions, massive nonperforming loan problems, and the bankruptcies of several prominent financial institutions. In response to this financial malaise, Japan recently has begun loosening many of the legal shackles that have, inter alia, traditionally prohibited and restricted mergers and acquisitions of financial institutions in Japan's tightly segmented financial industry. The poor performance of Japanese financial institutions has given them the incentive to utilize this freedom to combine in new ways to achieve business objectives in an environment less encumbered by restrictions on financial integration.
