Comments on consultative document on Revisions to the Standardized
Approach for credit risk
Shinkumi Federation Bank (SFB) is the central bank for Japanese credit
cooperatives (Shinkumi banks＊).
As the central bank for Shinkumi banks, SFB provides members (Shinkumi
banks) with liquidity, extensive investment, settlement, funds transfer and
payment services (indirecting effect extended their members).
In addition, SFB provides consulting and monitoring services, ALM support
and analysis of marketable securities portfolio for its members.
＊Outline of Shinkumi banks (As of March 31, 2014)
Shinkumi banks are not-for-profit cooperative financial institutions
owned and managed by their members, and they offer various financial
services (such as commercial banks) for their members.
Shinkumi banks were founded for the purpose of mutual financial aid
among their own communities.
Shinkumi banks are divided into three groups sharing type of common
bond in a membership, residents, type of business, and occupation
(workplace).
At March of 2014, there were 155 Shinkumi banks through Japan, which
had a total of 1,718 outlets, 3,868,757 members, total deposits of ¥18,667
billion (US$183 billion), and outstanding loans of ¥9,797 billion (US$96
billion).
SFB wishes to express its appreciation for the opportunity to comment on
the consultative document on Revisions to the Standardized Approach for
credit risk.
SFB hopes that its comments below will help to further discuss in the
BCBS.

Comments:
When applying the new framework to non-joint stock companies such as
cooperatives, it should be consistent with discretion given to national
supervisory authorities, taking into account their specific constitution and
legal structure. The necessity of such consideration has already been
mentioned in Basel Ⅲ：A global regulatory framework for more resilient
banks and banking systems issued by the Basel Committee (December 2010
<rev June 2011>).
Financial institutions are required to exercise their financial intermediary
function toward companies and individuals, while also maintaining their
own sound financial conditions. In particular, cooperative-type financial
institutions play a socially indispensable role in supporting small companies
and individuals and revitalizing economies. Such social responsibility of
cooperative financial institutions should also be taken into account. If global
regulations are mechanically applied to those financial institutions in a
uniform manner, it could produce the unintended effect of hurting the
financial intermediary function, which could have a negative impact on
regional economies.
Taking the abovementioned risk into consideration, when improving
financial regulations in the area of financing for small and medium-size
enterprises(SMEs), it should be left to the discretionary powers of national
authorities which are well informed of their own domestic circumstances.
(Specific constitution of cooperative financial institutions)
Cooperative financial institutions have the central organization, which
plays a significant role in bolstering the foundation of the management of
individual cooperative institutions through measures such as schemes for
supporting the strengthening of their capital bases. The central organization
also performs payments and settlements smoothly between cooperative
institutions and its customers and provides cooperative institutions with
collective investment facilities by using the claims deposited to it.

In addition, regarding the governance structure, cooperative banks and
their central organization can mutually grasp and influence each other’s
management as follows: representatives of the individual cooperative
institutions, who act on the board of their central organization as part-time
directors, can influence the organization’s policies. on the other hand, the
central organization can grasp the business conditions of the individual
cooperative institutions through monitoring services accompanied by
strengthening their capital bases. In a way, cooperative financial institutions
and their central organization are closely connected as a unified
organization.
Taking into account the abovementioned specific constitution, exposures
between cooperative institutions and their central organization would
qualify for preferential treatment. Concretely, their claims deposited to the
central organization as well as the central organization’s acquired preferred
equities issued by them for the supporting scheme should receive a
preferential risk weight.
