1.	Objectives of DICJ Round Table
	The Deposit Insurance Corporation of Japan (DICJ) has held an international conference, “DICJ Round Table”, every year.  The Round Table, which has received a large number of participants from abroad, is designed to gather information for the benefit of the DIJC’s future operations and to provide information to Asian countries (in particular, countries that plan to introduce the deposit insurance system soon or those that have introduced the system only recently).  DICJ has invited well-experienced executives and expert officials from deposit insurers in the US, Europe and Asia as case study presenters and commentators to the Round Table, and has seen keen discussions and vigorous exchange of views among participants.
