Recent Trend in Reorganization of s In the US, pressures from institutional investors for quicker execution of orders and resultant changes in regulations (Regulation NMS (National Market System)) have promoted acquisitions of electronic communication networks (ECNs) and proprietary trading systems (PTSs). In Europe, mergers have progressed between futures exchanges and cash market exchanges, as well as between cash market exchanges across borders. Mergers of exchanges do not mean mergers of markets. Each market is subject to regulations specific to each country, and standardization of transaction rules and listing standards has not yet been taken place. From the standpoint of investors and listed companies participating in the market, the significance of mergers of exchanges is unclear. It should be understood as moves by exchanges as management entities to stabilize and expand operating bases. Pressures from stockholders are also promoting reorganizations. 6
Limits of Measures to Strengthen Competitiveness Stock exchanges in many countries have implemented various programs to strengthen their competitiveness, but none of them seem to have been decisive. Winning new companies to be listed (not enough domestic candidates) Development of new products (apart from some growth of exchange trades funds,etfs, and real estate investment trusts,reits.) Diversification of trading methods and trading hours (lagged behind PTSs.) Linking exchanges (test cases in Singapore and Hong Kong have not come through.) Diversification into related businesses (systems, market information services, etc.) Probably seeking alliances with other exchanges because of awareness of limitations of their own measures. 7
Market Capitalizations of s and Market Sizes Market evaluations (market capitalizations) of exchanges as joint stock companies are not solely determined by the sizes of the market they operate in. 1 CME 15,483 - - - - 2 15,272 (8) 1,221,106 (6) 1,912,327 3 12,522 (1) 13,310,592 (1) 14,125,294 4 9,280 (6) 2,706,803 (5) 2,901,290 5 6,411 (9) 1,054,999 (16) 465,285 6 CBOT 6,306 - - - - 7 4,701 (4) 3,058,182 (3) 5,673,877 8 3,703 (3) 3,603,985 (2) 10,086,740 9 2,592 (22) 257,340 (26) 116,351 10 2,407 (12) 804,015 (13) 672,518 11 OMX 2,270 (13) 802,561 (11) 950,988 12 1,116 (5) 2,964,298 (20) 215,973 - (2) 4,572,901 (4) 4,426,622 - - 163,612-165,544 Notes: 8
Management Issues for Japan s s What is their plan to strengthen futures markets and promote development of new products? What is their view for diversification into businesses other than operating the market? How will they be involved in the international reorganization of exchanges? 9
What Is Required of Systems In the backdrop of diversifying markets for order executions and intensifying demand for best execution, exchanges are required to execute a large number of fragmented orders quickly. Algorithmic trades will be more popular in Japan, too. Overseas exchanges are upgrading processing capabilities and shortening response times. Institutional investors are looking for DMA (Direct Market Access). Roles of securities companies will be changing. As is witnessed in erroneous orders cases, the role of s market auditing is not merely for prevention of fraudulent trades. What should be the role of market auditing as further systemization progresses? 10
