Introduction:

The General Committee of Securities and Exchange Council, chaired by Prof. Shoichi Royama at Osaka University, has discussed what reforms should be made in the Japanese securities market over the mid-term in preparation for the coming of the 21st century.

So far, we have mainly discussed problems with the Japanese securities market, basic ideas, proposed reforms, and the direction that market reforms should take.
