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

Article Abstract:

Banks and other financial institutions in Japan long faced intricate regulations that severely limited their ability to engage in mergers and acquisitions with each other. Problems such as bankruptcies, nonperforming loans, and a general inability to compete resulted from this overregulation. Deregulation by the Japanese government promises to relieve this situation. Economic forces, including foreign competition, should take advantage of this deregulation and fuel a marked increase in mergers and acquisitions by financial institutions.
