TOKYO, March 16 (Reuters) - The head of Japan's banking
lobby said on Thursday that there are no signs at the moment of
the Japanese financial system being affected by a crisis of
confidence in Credit Suisse , as the country's banks are
well-capitalised.
"Global banks have beefed up their risk controls over
capital and liquidity" since the 2008 global financial crisis,
Junichi Hanzawa, chairman of the Japanese Bankers Association,
told reporters.
"European banks generally have solid capital ratios, and so
do Japanese banks," said Hanzawa, also the chief executive of
MUFG Bank .
