Walt Lukken, president and CEO of FIA, and Yasuo Mogi, vice chairman of FIA Japan, on Oct. 20 signed an agreement affiliating the two organizations. The signing took place during FIA’s Futures and Options Expo in Chicago.
FIA and FIAJ have had a relationship since FIAJ was formed in 1988 as the Japan chapter of FIA. The Chapter was reorganized as an independent General Incorporated Association in 2010. The affiliation creates a more formal relationship between the two organizations in order to better coordinate policies and promote the cleared derivatives industry.
"We have a long history of working with FIA Japan toward our shared goals. This affiliation allows us to expand and improve our partnership," said Lukken.
"This affiliation will be the foundation of an even stronger relationship and we look forward to working with FIA for the betterment of the Japanese derivatives market, as well as for the development of global markets," said Mogi.
FIA and FIA Japan officials sign formal affiliation agreement.
