Japan On The World Stage

In November last year, Mr. Greenberg presented the Award Ceremony at the Forex Magnates London Summit, in which ten Western firms were nominated for a series of awards, based on a vote by a panel of judges.

This evening’s Award Ceremony in Tokyo provided a benchmark by which Japanese companies can be viewed internationally, and also a platform by which Japanese firms can make their strengths known outside of their home country.

Japan, being such a truly vast market for FX and binary options, hosts a very well established domestic FX industry in which a degree of firms operate solely within the country and generate substantial volume, whilst offering their clients a high level of knowledge and a quality trading environment.

This year’s awards encompass twelve categories, whereby each firm was subject to assessment on a number of criteria and demonstrates Japan’s robustness and experience in FX to participants in the rest of the world.
