Introduction to the New Japanese Equity Market
50 Days from the TSE Market Revamp -- Expectations & reactions from the global investors
The growing fluctuation in the capital markets has motivated market participants to diversify their investments across regions, sectors and assets. Meanwhile, the Tokyo Stock Exchange restructured its grouping of shares for the first time in several decades in April 2022 to make this one of the largest and most mature markets more dynamic and attractive to foreign investors.
The Webinar will provide international investors and business owners who are looking into opportunities in the next-generation equity market in Japan with various views from the market participants and business leaders.
