決算と適時開示、英語義務化　プライム企業、来年３月から―東証

　東証は１７日、プライム市場に上場する１６００社超を対象に、決算および適時開示の情報について、日本語と同時に英語で公開することを義務付ける案を有識者会議に示した。いずれも２０２５年３月から順次、適用したい考えで、来月下旬に制度要綱を示す予定。国内外の投資家の情報格差をなくし、海外からの投資を一段と呼び込みやすくする狙いだ。（2024/01/17-23:11）

The Tokyo Stock Exchange on Wednesday proposed that over 1,600 companies listed on its Prime section be obliged to promptly disclose earnings and other key information in Japanese and English at the same time.
   The proposal was presented at a meeting of an expert panel. The TSE plans to apply the obligation in stages from March 2025, with related guidelines to be released late next month.
   The move is aimed at narrowing the information gap between domestic and foreign investors and making it easier to attract investment from abroad.
   Financial results and other important information subject to timely disclosure have a significant impact on investment behavior. Foreign investors, who account for 70 pct of trading on the Prime section, attach importance to such information.
   The TSE has therefore judged it is necessary to ensure the promptness of English disclosure on the Prime section.
