JPX group companies undertake various initiatives and disseminate information with the aim of providing the most attractive markets to all users.
Every month, we showcase the highlights of these efforts in short and concise summaries just for you.
JSCC and JPX held a webinar: "Japanese CDS Market Seminar - Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of CDS Clearing Launch" on Jul. 16, 2021. At this 7th CDS seminar, speakers on the forefront of the CDS market were invited to give speeches or attend a panel discussion on topics such as the impact the market experienced from COVID-19, how they see the future market environment, and how to utilize CDS.
Moreover, as the CDS clearing business reached their 10th anniversary since its launch in July 2011, looking back on our efforts to date and the increase in clearing values, we expressed our appreciation to the market stakeholders who have been providing their continuous support and cooperation.
On the day of the seminar, many participants from financial institutions, institutional investors, among others took part. The video commemorating the 10th anniversary of the CDS clearing launch is available via video on demand.
Since the launch of TSE Arrows in May 2000, the ticker at the TSE Arrows market center has shown day-to-day stock prices for over 21 years. As it had become outdated, an upgrade project began in March this year, and the new ticker was in operation on Jul. 20, 2021. How stock prices are shown remains the same, but instead of the previous three-color display (orange, red, and green), the new ticker shows digital images and videos in full color. On the first day before trading started, it showed to the press a message to celebrate its launch with images of JPX logos and its history. It will be used on various occasions such as ceremonies on the first and the last trading days of the year.
JPX released its consolidated earnings report for Q1 FY2021.
Operating revenue was down JPY 100 million (-0.5%) year-on-year to JPY 32.5 billion due mainly to a decrease in cash equities and derivatives trading volumes.
Operating expenses were down JPY 700 million (-4.8%) year-on-year to JPY 14.5 billion due mainly to a decrease in systems-related depreciation.
As a result, operating income increased by JPY 90 million (+0.5%) to JPY 18.4 billion with net income (attributable to owners of the parent company) up JPY 200 million (+1.7%) to JPY 12.2 billion.
Japan Exchange Group announced that, to combat climate change, it will switch
100% of electricity consumed by the Group to renewable energy by FY2024 and aim for carbon neutrality across Group companies on the same timeline.
To achieve this, as well as switching the electricity contract for the TSE Building main office this autumn, JPX is researching the possibility of generating renewable energy through our own energy generation facilities. Then, by holding multiple energy generation facilities that match the electricity needs of each of JPX Group's facilities (offices and data centers, for example) it plans to put in place a clean and stable energy procurement system which does not rely on the supply and demand of the electricity market.
