  • ADBI-JFSA-OECD Roundtable on Insurance and Retirement Saving in Asia
    ADBI-JFSA-OECD Roundtable on Insurance and Retirement Saving in Asia 25-26 April 2018 Tokyo, Japan To purpose of this roundtable is to better inform policy makers and private sector participants in Asia of the policy analysis that the OECD is developing, and to discuss key issues in the Asian market with input from the JFSA, with the aim of sharing experience and good practices for the sound development of insurance and private pensions markets. The Asia-Pacific region is among the fastest growing markets in the world for insurance and is responsible for an increasing share of global insurance premiums and assets under management. However, the level of insurance and retirement savings penetration remains low, leaving large numbers of individuals unprotected against both certain and uncertain risks in the context of important demographic and social changes in the region. The development of insurance and private pension markets provides an opportunity for the diversification of risk over time and among different participants. The OECD’s Insurance and Private Pensions Committee and its Working Party on Private Pensions have been developing work in the area of insurance and private pensions that addresses policy interests and emerging issues in these markets, and have been making policy recommendations based on evidence- based analysis. Day 1 – Wednesday, 25 April 2018 9:30-10:00 Opening Remarks Masamichi Kono, Deputy Secretary-General OECD, Naoyuki Yoshino, Dean, ADBI Hiroshi Ota, Vice Chair, IAIS Executive Committee; and Deputy Commissioner for International Affairs, Japan Financial Services Agency 10:00-13:00 Session 1: Dealing with demographic change in the insurance and private pension sectors Many countries in Asia are experiencing dramatic or expected changes in their demographics – longevity accompanied by declines in fertility rates, and the ensuing transformation of societal age structures.

New issues such as increasing internationalization and global environmental problems also need to be addressed. In this context, Japan’s real estate industry has a social responsibility to create new value to contribute to the economy and society. It is expected to supply high-quality buildings and housing, and help make people’s daily lives-whether at home, work, or play-more comfortable and affluent. As a cornerstone of domestic demand, the industry should also help drive national economic growth. Based on this mission, members of the Real Estate Companies Association of Japan pursue their activities in accordance with the principles below. 1. Creating Attractive Cities Members will help create safe, stable, comfortable and appealing cities; renew urban areas through forming quality housing stock and advanced business infrastructure; create dynamic environments rich in amenities; and work to maintain and enhance their value from both a hard and soft perspective so that they may be passed down to the future generations as high-quality assets. 2. Customer-Focused Activities and Management The provision of “Customer First” management is best served by supporting the lifestyle pursuits of customers in meeting their ever diversifying and increasingly unique needs with an enhanced selection of products and services, and also in providing accurate information while maintaining high ethical standards and acquiring greater expertise.

Operating revenue and net income achieved the highest level. Shareholders’ equity ratio improved to 28.8%. ROA slightly declined to 5.4%, while ROE substantially rose to 10.3%. Both are top levels in major industry peers. FY16/3, the final year of Phase I, is expected to grow in operating revenue and operating income due to leasing up of the Hamamatsucho Building and increased property sales to the Group’s REITs, etc. Operating revenue is expected to renew the record high. FY16/3 is a shifting period to a growth stage. We are to accelerate redevelopment and complex development as well as property development, while maintaining financial strength. In addition, we will start full-fledged new businesses including senior and overseas.
