Summer Economics Lectures for Parents and Children were held in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. This year's 15th installment of these annual lectures attracted a total of over 1,000 parents and children. Participants in Tokyo enjoyed a hands-on experience with stock trading via board and card games. Some were also lucky enough to win a drawing with 1 in 5 odds to join private tours of TSE and the BOJ. Toushi-kun (a mascot whose name is a blend of the Japanese words for investing and cow) welcomed elementary school students in Osaka. Participants enjoyed board games and guided tours of OSE.

JPX published JPX Working Paper Vol.32 "PoC and Advancement of Project on Full Adoption of RPA: The Case of JPX". Placing robotic process automation (RPA) in the role of a simple machine tool for assisting in tasks carried out by humans, JPX introduced RPA products on a trial basis and conducted proof of concept (PoC) testing to measure the effectiveness of these products over a one-year period. Thereafter, since April 2018, JPX has been advancing this project geared toward the full adoption of RPA with the aim of enhancing both the quality and functionality of business processes throughout the Group. Vol. 32 covers the whole two-year trajectory of JPX's attempt to adopt RPA at the Group, presenting not only success cases but also all of the trial and error that was involved, as well as the challenges that JPX has yet to overcome. JPX hopes that this paper can serve as a point of reference for those who are considering introducing RPA or who are currently facing challenges after implementation.
