The head of the government's Financial Reconstruction Commission said Tuesday that the government would allow Mitsubishi Trust & Banking Corp. to repay ahead of schedule the public funds it received to replenish its depleted capital base.
"Should the bank have such a plan, I would like to have it carried out quickly," FRC Chairman Hideyuki Aizawa told a news conference.
The FRC can refuse the early repayment of government funds if it believes the institution in question remains unhealthy.
