In coordination with the head office, branches, and local offices of the Bank of Japan, as well as the government, local public bodies, private entities, and others, the Council works to enhance financial literacy in Japan from a neutral and fair position.
Before I continue, I would like to add that Mr. SHIBUSAWA Ken, who will be speaking after me, and with whom I will be holding a discussion session later, has a relationship with the Central Council. Mr. SHIBUSAWA's great uncle -- his grandfather's older brother -- was Viscount SHIBUSAWA Keizo, the 16th Governor of the Bank of Japan.
