To address a decrease in available specific name codes assigned to general companies (4-digit numbers from [1300] to [9999]), the Securities Identification Code Committee (SICC) (*1) has announced a basic plan for the use of Roman alphabet characters in the specific name codes when the available codes run out. However, based on the recent decrease in remaining name codes, the SICC announced that with the purpose of facilitating the smooth implementation of the use of Roman alphabet characters in the securities codes, Roman alphabet characters will be used from 1 January 2024, regardless of whether the available codes run out. (*2)
Japan Exchange Group companies use securities codes for a wide range of operations such as listing, trading, clearing settlement, and information distribution. Since the inclusion of Roman alphabet characters in securities codes affects a wide range of operations, we will focus on sharing information with related parties and promoting correspondence, and will conduct system tests with users who connect to the systems of each Japan Exchange Group company. We will continue to prepare for the smooth incorporation of Roman Alphabet characters.
In addition, since the codes are widely used by market users, including individual investors, we would like to ask for your cooperation in order to smoothly incorporate Roman alphabet characters, for example by supporting the systems for incorporating Roman alphabet characters, checking the business flow, and disseminating information within the company and to related parties.
