　JBA TIBOR Operational Rules (Appendix A)Article 35 provides that JBATA shall recruit and select reference banks for rate submissions every year, taking into account factors such as market trading volume (trading volume in the Japanese unsecured call money market for Japanese Yen TIBOR).

　In order to be newly selected as a reference bank, establishment of internal rules including provisions pertaining to the matters set out in paragraphs (1) to (12) described in JBA TIBOR Code of Conduct ("Code of Conduct") will be required. Furthermore, compliance to the Code of Conduct will need to be examined by JBATA.

Then, please submit Appendix 1 ,Appendix 2 and Appendix 3 to JBATA by registered mail (※1) or e-mail as electronic files (Word, PDF) (※2) to be delivered no later than noon on Friday, December 20, 2024.
