BT, Japan Exchange Group Partner on Equities & Derivatives Markets Access

Members of the BT Radianz Cloud network will gain access to brokers and market data as both firms seek to capitalize on growth opportunities across the Asian regions.

"Global investors have high hopes for the Japanese economy, and for us, this creates opportunities for growth," says Mitsuo Miwa, director of market business development at JPX. "JPX's ambition is to become the most preferred exchange in Asia and one of the most competitive in the world."

JPX joins other Asia-Pacific-based exchanges the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), Bursa Malaysia and the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on the BT Radianz Cloud platform.

"With JPX now on board, we have the infrastructure in place to help grow trading activity and investment into and out of Japan," says Tom Regent, president, global banking and financial markets, BT Global Services. "This will make it easier for our community to do business in a way that can lead to a more vibrant market, boosting Japan's standing as a global financial hub."
