This year is the 30th anniversary of the JGB futures market, established by the Tokyo Stock Exchange on October 19, 1985. Although its infrastructure has undergone various upgrades over the past decade to better meet investors' needs, JGB futures trading volume has stagnated. Meanwhile, overseas investors' share of that volume has grown to over 50%. With the Japan Exchange Group placing priority on derivatives markets, the JGB futures market will hopefully benefit from its efforts going forward.
