What role does Japan’s FSA play in forex regulation?

The Financial Services Agency (FSA) regulates Japan’s massive retail forex market, one of the largest in the world. It mandates strict leverage limits (currently 1:25), transparent pricing, and robust client fund protections. Benefits: Japanese retail traders enjoy high safety and transparency. Risks: low leverage discourages some aggressive traders, leading them to unregulated venues. Institutions view Japan as a mature and disciplined market with stable regulation. Retail traders elsewhere can learn from FSA’s framework—it emphasizes sustainability and trader survival over speculative excess. The FSA showcases how strict rules can still support a thriving forex ecosystem.
