TOKYO ADVANCES IN GLOBAL TRADING RACE: TRADING

摘要

After five years plagued by setbacks, the Tokyo Stock Exchange has raised its game with the launch of its Arrowhead trading system in January. The exchange's next goal is to successfully accommodate the increased flow of alternative trading in order to cement its position as a rival to the more established centres in the US and Europe.rnThe Tokyo Stock Exchange (TSE), once the world's largest exchange with 40% of global stock market capital during a brief euphoric period at the end of 1980s, used to be a bastion of 'Japan Incorporated', with chief executives regularly emerging from the Ministry of Finance and a membership system skewed in favour of Japanese brokerages. Now the once-mighty exchange is trying its best to keep up with the rest of the world.
