Looking back on the stock market conditions in 2014, important decisions such as additional monetary easing by the Bank of Japan, doubling of the GPIF stock investment ratio, and postponement of the consumption tax re-tax increase were made in rapid succession, and the Nikkei average was actually 7 years 10 The market was generally firm, with the market surpassing 18,000 yen for the first time in a month. IPOs continue to be active, with a total increase of 22 companies to 80 companies, and the amount of funds raised has doubled from the previous year, surpassing the 1 trillion yen mark for the first time in four years. It seems that the Japanese capital market is recovering its original function of "supplying risk money to growing industries and creating added value through efficient fund circulation." Investors, especially foreign investors, have high expectations for the Japanese economy, and we must meet them. The positive impact is gradually spreading not only to the financial markets but also to the real economy, such as the recovery of corporate performance and the accompanying expansion of capital investment, consumer sentiment, and improvement of the employment and income environment. In order to further strengthen these and realize sustainable economic growth, it is necessary for the Japanese economy, even if it causes some pain, while the camphor-like effects of monetary easing etc. continue. If so, we must take the courage to work on reforms. Fiscal consolidation is irrelevant, and essential growth strategies such as promotion of TPP, regulatory reforms in the fields of agriculture, employment and medical care, and corporate tax cuts are extremely important. From the standpoint of the capital market, we will actively work on various measures. Formulation of the "Corporate Governance Code" that requires the appointment of multiple independent outside directors for the purpose of promoting corporate transformation and growth, penetration of the "JPX Nikkei Index 400", and further enhancement of ETFs and futures trading linked to this index We will continue to strengthen it. Lastly, with the cooperation of all of you, the Japan Exchange Group has completed all of the major themes since its inception, "Market reorganization by function and system integration." We would like to express our sincere gratitude and ask for your continued support and guidance. Atsushi Saito, Director and Representative Executive Officer, Group CEO, Japan Exchange Group, Inc.
