OVERVIEW

“High can go higher.” At the end of February, BlackRock predicted a strong rise in Japanese stocks in a bullish tone. On July 11th, the Nikkei Stock Average exceeded 42,000 yen for the first time. The Japanese stock market has turned into a new phase.

However, the current booming stock market is driven by global companies growing by tapping into global demand, such as the semiconductor industry, which sometimes makes the market very unstable. The focus for the future is whether Japan can move out of its reliance on foreign demand and get into a cycle of growth based on its market.

Nikkei will hold an event under the theme “Frontiers of International Finance” to analyze the current state of Japan‘s financial markets, which have entered a new phase, and to discuss the initiatives and issues necessary for our further progress.　The event will appeal to the attractiveness of the Japanese market and the efforts for the future to a wide range of market participants not only in Japan but also around the world.
