LTCB's notional derivatives over 50 trln yen--MOF TOKYO, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Japanese Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa said on Tuesday he had heard the notional amount of derivatives transactions held by Long-Term Credit Bank of Japan (LTCB) (8303.T) exceeded 50 trillion yen. ''From what has been reported, it is said that the notional amount of LTCB's derivatives trade is over 50 trillion (yen),'' Miyazawa told a plenary session of the Lower House of parliament. He added that taking into account the failure of (former British merchant bank) Barings, which was caused by rogue transactions of derivatives trade, LTCB's amount of 50 trillion yen should be watched with caution. ''If the worst happens, and (LTCB) should find difficulty in paying them (the derivatives trade), then there is a danger of default,'' he said. If such a default were to happen, it would undermine Japan's credibility and could lead to a Japan-triggered global financial depression, Miyazawa added.
