Tokyo Commodity Exchange Concluded NDA With Japan Exchange Group

In connection with advancing research and discussion of the comprehensive exchange initiative as set out in the government’s growth strategy, TOCOM has today concluded a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Japan Exchange Group, Inc. (JPX) as a prerequisite for entering into concrete discussions.

Moving forward, TOCOM will have concrete discussions with JPX. This matter is currently at a deliberation stage, and no decision, including whether to move to realize a comprehensive exchange, has been made.

TOCOM will conduct prompt disclosure in the event where any matter requiring disclosure emerges.
