An annual big meeting was held on the Tokyo Stock Exchange before the first transaction.

The people concerned wished for a vigorous deal for the year, but on the 4th, the Nikkei Stock Average temporarily dropped by more than 400 yen, making a tough start.

This year's big event was held with about 40 attendees to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.



At the beginning, Akira Kiyota, Chief Executive Officer of Japan Exchange Group, which owns the Tokyo Stock Exchange, said, "It is necessary to tackle the difficult issue of balancing infectious disease control and economic activities. Although the maxim says "stumbling", the cow is a symbol of bullishness in English, and I want to believe in it. "



Next, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Aso said, "We will strategically promote reforms to attractive markets and build an environment by taking advantage of Japan's good security, living environment, and personal financial assets exceeding 1900 trillion yen. I will go. "



Then, after Deputy Prime Minister Aso and the president of a securities company struck a bell, everyone tightened their hands and wished for a lively deal over the past year.

In the Tokyo stock market, stock prices rose to the level for the first time in 31 years at the end of the year, with expectations for economic recovery due to the spread of vaccines added last year against the backdrop of large-scale monetary easing and the support of economic measures of governments. ..



However, in the first transaction, which started after the big meeting, the Nikkei Stock Average temporarily dropped by more than 400 yen due to the caution that an emergency declaration might be issued again, and it was a tough start.
