The Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan's (LTCB ) new Chairman and CEO Masamoto Yashiro (L), and former U.S. Federal Reserve Board chairman Paul A. Volcker, named as a senior adviser for LTCB, speak to reporters at a news conference at LTCB headquarters in Tokyo March 3. Yashiro said that he aims to list shares of the fallen giant in three to five years. Delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange after collapsing over bad loans, LTCB was sold to a consortium led by U.S. investment group Ripplewood Holdings.
