２前項に定める場合のほか、財務大臣は、居住者又は非居住者による同項に規定する資本取引（特別国際金融取引勘定で経理されるものを除く。）が何らの制限なしに行われた場合には、次に掲げるいずれかの事態を生じ、この法律の目的を達成することが困難になると認めるときは、政令で定めるところにより、当該資本取引を行おうとする居住者又は非居住者に対し、当該資本取引を行うことについて、許可を受ける義務を課することができる。

３前項の「特別国際金融取引勘定」とは、銀行その他の政令で定める金融機関が、非居住者（外国法令に基づいて設立された法人その他政令で定める者に限る。以下この項及び次項において同じ。）から受け入れた預金その他の非居住者から調達した資金を非居住者に対する金銭の貸付け、非居住者からの証券の取得その他の非居住者との間での運用に充てるために行う次に掲げる取引又は行為に係る資金の運用又は調達に関する経理をその他の取引又は行為に係る資金の運用又は調達に関する経理と区分して整理するため財務大臣の承認を受けて設ける勘定をいう。

(3)The term "special international financial transactions account" referred to in the preceding paragraph means an account that a bank or other prescribed financial institution that Cabinet Order specifies establishes with the approval of the Minister of Finance in order to manage its accounting for its investment or procurement of funds in connection with the following transactions and actions it undertakes in order to allocate deposits that it receives from non-residents (but only corporations established under foreign laws and regulations and any other persons that Cabinet Order prescribes; hereinafter the same applies in this and the following paragraph) and other funds that it procures from non-residents, for use in lending money to non-residents, for use in acquiring securities from non-residents, and for use in other investment in non-residents, separately from its accounting for its investment and procurement of funds in connection with other transactions and actions:

４前項に規定する特別国際金融取引勘定（以下この項及び次条第二項において「特別国際金融取引勘定」という。）とその他の勘定との間における資金の振替その他の特別国際金融取引勘定の経理に関する事項及び特別国際金融取引勘定において経理される取引又は行為に関し当該取引又は行為の相手方が非居住者であることの確認その他必要な事項については、政令で定める。

(4)Cabinet Order provides for transfers of funds between a special international financial transactions account as prescribed in the preceding paragraph (hereinafter referred to as a "special international financial transactions account" in this paragraph and paragraph (2) of the following Article) and other accounts and for other particulars of the accounting in a special international financial transactions account, and also provides for confirmation that the other party to a transaction or action for which the accounting is conducted in a special international financial transactions account is a non-resident and for any other necessary particulars.

５第二項に規定する資本取引について第一項及び第二項の規定により許可を受ける義務が課された場合には、当該資本取引を行おうとする者は、政令で定めるところにより、これらの規定による許可の申請を併せて行うことができる。この場合において、財務大臣は、当該申請に係る資本取引について許可を受ける義務を課することとなつた事態のいずれをも生じさせないかを併せ考慮して、許可をするかどうかを判断するものとする。

(5)If it has been made obligatory for persons to get permission for a capital transaction as prescribed in paragraph (2) pursuant to the provisions of both paragraphs (1) and (2), a person seeking to conduct such a transaction may file a combined application for the permissions under those paragraphs, pursuant to Cabinet Order. In such a case, the Minister of Finance is to decide whether to give permission while also taking into consideration whether the capital transaction under the application would actually cause one of the situations that forms the basis for obliging persons to get permission for that transaction.

６財務大臣は、第二十三条第一項の規定により届け出なければならないとされる同条第二項に規定する対外直接投資を行うことについて第一項又は第二項の規定により許可を受ける義務を課したときは、当該許可の申請に係る対外直接投資については、当該許可を受ける義務を課することとなつた第一項に規定する事態又は第二項各号に掲げる事態のほか、同条第四項各号に掲げる事態のいずれをも生じさせないかを併せ考慮して、許可をするかどうかを判断するものとする。

(6)If the Minister of Finance, pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2), has made it obligatory to get permission for outward direct investment as prescribed in Article 23, paragraph (2) in connection with which Article 23, paragraph (1) requires a notification to be filed, the minister is to decide whether to give that permission while also taking into consideration whether the outward direct investment under the application for permission would actually give rise to one of the situations set forth in the items of paragraph (4) of that Article, in addition to whether it would actually give rise to one of the situations prescribed in paragraph (1) or in one of the items of paragraph (2) that forms the basis for obliging persons to get permission.
