Tokyo Stock Exchange CEO says talks between firms and investors key to governance

written by October 17, 2024

TOKYO (Reuters) -The Tokyo Stock Exchange’s role from now on is to facilitate constructive dialogue between companies and investors rather than mandate how businesses are run, its head said on Thursday.

“The real power to bring about change lies with investors and shareholders,” Hiromi Yamaji, chief executive officer of Japan Exchange group, which operates the Tokyo Stock Exchange, told a press briefing in Tokyo.

The exchange’s efforts to encourage companies to improve their governance practices and corporate value have boosted domestic equities. The Nikkei share average crossed a 34-year high in February this year.

But Yamaji said mandating companies change their management practices could be counterproductive as it can provoke a backlash.

“Reform isn’t sustainable unless companies take voluntary action,” Yamaji said.

Yamaji also said he hoped Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba would promote policies to stimulate private sector growth and continue his predecessor Fumio Kishida’s efforts to encourage a shift from savings into investments.
