行业研究分析师Hideyasu Ban指出，野村承认了相关指控，罚款将“不可避免”。他表示，野村本季度的手续费收入将受到一定影响，企业客户要过一段时间才会重新启用该公司安排债券发行交易。Nomura admitted to manipulating the Japanese government bonds futures market to the Japanese financial regulatory institutions, following an investigation into its transactions three years ago by the country's securities regulatory agency.
According to a notice on the website of the Japanese Financial Services Agency, the largest brokerage firm in Japan submitted a written statement acknowledging its misconduct. Japan's Securities and Exchange Surveillance Commission (SESC) last month recommended a fine for Nomura's violations in 2021.
About a week ago, Nomura's CEO Kentaro Okuda apologized for the incident. Several companies, including Toyota Finance, have removed Nomura from the list of bond underwriters.
Industry analyst Hideyasu Ban pointed out that Nomura admitted to the allegations, and that the fine was "inevitable." He stated that Nomura's fee income for the quarter will be affected to a certain extent, and corporate clients will take some time before reusing the company's bond issuing services.
Previously, the SESC stated that an employee of Nomura's domestic securities department used fraudulent means to affect the prices of Japanese government bond futures in 2021. The trader profited by placing large orders without any actual intention of buying or selling. The regulatory body suggested a fine of 21.8 million yen (0.146 million dollars) for Nomura.
Nomura spokesperson Shigehiro Tomita declined to comment, while the Japanese Financial Services Agency refused to provide further details on the notice.
