General Incorporated Association JBA TIBOR Administration
We, General Incorporated Association JBA TIBOR Administration ("JBATA") (the chairman is Akihiro Wani), took over the JBA TIBOR calculation and publication operations from the Japanese Bankers Association ("JBA") on April 1, 2014, and since then have been engaged in these operations.
Given international discussions on financial benchmark reforms, JBATA has been promoting the JBA TIBOR reforms. In considering the direction of our reforms, JBATA has decided to widely seek comments on key issues from users and other stakeholders through public consultation.[Annex1]
