| Japanese stock markets |
| The securities exchanges
in Japan comprise the third-largest stock market in the world, after
New York and London. The growing number of users of mobile and fixed
Internet terminals has made net trading a popular mode of conducting
transactions in this market. These terminals are encouraging individuals
to invest in stocks.
Major Japanese companies have completed operational restructuring.
Their increased revenues are slowing the fall of the average stock
price. Meanwhile, investment from abroad is continuing to increase. |
