Tokyo exchange chief quits

Takuo Tsurushima quit today as president and chief executive of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, following an unprecedented four-hour failure of its technology and its system's inability to reverse a $3bn (€2.5bn) erroneous trade by Mizuho Securities.

Tsurushima, who said he was considering his position last week, announced his decision to resign at a press conference after the stock market closed in Japan today.
