Japan Securities Finance Implements Temporary Halt on Loan Transactions for Specific Securities
Tokyo, Japan – August 27, 2025 – Japan Securities Finance Co., Ltd. (JSF) announced today the implementation of temporary measures to halt loan transaction applications for specific securities, effective from August 27, 2025. This decision, detailed in their recent notification “貸借取引の申込停止措置の実施について（8/27） – 銘柄別制限措置” (Regarding the Implementation of Measures to Halt Loan Transaction Applications (8/27) – Measures by Security), aims to maintain orderly market conditions and manage potential imbalances in the lending and borrowing of securities.
The measures, which took effect at 02:17 JST on August 27th, represent JSF’s proactive approach to ensuring the stability of the securities lending market. While the specific securities affected by this particular notification are not detailed within the provided document title, such measures are typically enacted when JSF identifies a significant increase in demand for borrowing or a shortage of available securities for lending concerning particular listed stocks.
The purpose of these temporary halts is to prevent excessive speculation and to address situations where the supply and demand for lending a specific security become significantly imbalanced. By temporarily suspending new loan applications for these affected securities, JSF can mitigate the risk of undue price volatility driven by lending market dynamics, thereby contributing to a fairer and more efficient trading environment.

JSF typically provides updates as conditions evolve.
