As concern about the global financial situation intensifies, stock markets in countries around the world are experiencing decline on a large scale.
In light of these circumstances, Japan's Minister of Finance, Minister of State for Financial Services Shoichi Nakagawa has expressed his concern about the current domestic market and indicated that the government is considering what it can do in terms of economic policy as an appropriate response.
At the TSE, we will continue to keep a close watch over the movements of the market and will cooperate with other institutions such as the Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commision (SESC) to conduct thorough surveillance of market manipulation or other unfair actions in the market.
We appreciate all investors and trading participants remaining calm when carrying out transactions during these turbulent times. Thank you.
Atsushi Saito
