Let the market reduce cross-shareholdings

Article Abstract:

The Liberal Democratic Party is considering the proposals made by the Daiwa Research Institute and the Japan Federation of Economic Organizations, or Keidanren. The proposals are aimed at reducing the cross-shareholdings on the Japanese stock market. At first glance, the proposal seem to end the collusive arrangements that are impediments to the formation of mature capital markets and the elimination of overhanging supply. However, on closer analysis, the proposal would create an immense potential for market distortion and risky investment portfolio.
