In Japan, the Financial Services Agency enacted a Stewardship Code in 2014, with a Corporate Governance Code from the Tokyo Stock Exchange entering into force this June. By creating a more equal environment among shareholders, ensuring more disclosure and transparency, specifying the responsibilities of company boards, and requiring outside independent directors on company boards, the codes enshrine changes that make Japan more attractive for foreign investors.
日本金融厅在2014年实施了一项管理办法（Stewardship Code），今年6月，东京证交所的公司治理办法（Corporate Governance Code）开始生效。这些办法为股东创造了更加平等的环境，确保了更多的披露和透明度，具体定义了公司董事会的责任，并且要求公司董事会设置独立董事，这些变革将增加日本对外国投资者的吸引力。在更一般的层面上，首相安倍晋三强调好的公司治理是长期经济增长与繁荣的关键。
