The Way to Invigorate the Growth Market Is to Raise the Listing Standards for the Prime Market
- There is no point in companies that meet or exceed the Prime Market listing criteria (market capitalization of 10 billion yen) choosing the Growth Market.
- If fewer small market capitalizations IPOs list, retail investors will lose interest in Growth Market, and few institutional investors will invest in small capitalization stocks with below 10 billion yen.
- If the listing criteria for Prime Market are raised, high growth companies will remain on Growth Market until they reach that scale, allowing both individual and institutional investors to invest.
