Forex Brokers in Japan
Japan has a strong reputation as one of the most stable and safe jurisdictions in the world for forex brokers. Forex brokers in Japan are regulated by the Japan Financial Services Agency (JFSA). The JFSA actively works to restrict Japanese traders who trade with forex brokers that are not regulated in the country.
Japan is also home to a large and active community of forex traders. Because of the large Japanese market, and the JFSA’s policies, many of the world’s biggest forex brokers have local entities registered and regulated in Japan.
