Akira Kiyota, CEO of Japan Exchange Group, which owns the Tokyo Stock Exchange, will soon set up a meeting of experts to discuss measures such as listing standards in order to improve the competitiveness of the prime market that started this month. I showed my thoughts.

On the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange has been abolished, and three new markets such as "Prime" have started on the 4th of this month.



While the prime market has tightened listing standards to attract internationally competitive companies, even if the former TSE First Section companies do not meet the standards, the prime market can be improved by issuing a plan for improvement. There is a transitional measure that allows you to move to, and there are criticisms from market participants and others that it is a replacement of the signboard.



Regarding this, Kiyota, CEO of Japan Exchange Group, said at a press conference on the 26th that he would soon set up a meeting of experts to discuss measures such as listing standards in order to improve the competitiveness of the market.



Members will choose from economists, investors, and securities companies, and will also discuss the efforts of listed companies to improve value and the evaluation of investors.



At the press conference, CEO Kiyota said, "We would like to improve the effectiveness of market restructuring by following up carefully and carefully."
