Fukuoka Stock Exchange to Start Listing Asian Stocks in January
The Fukuoka Stock Exchange revealed the outlines of a plan to list the stocks from other companies starting in January 2010. The Financial Services Agency has been deliberating the plan since April. It envisions listing the stocks of companies from countries with close ties to Kyushu, such as China and South Korea. Both the companies’ stocks and Japanese Depository Receipts would be listed. The latter are yen-denominated securities based on the overseas company’s stock shares.
