The contrasting approaches of Bank of Japan chief Kuroda with his predecessor Shirakawa who talked down each BOJ move
04/12/2013
Kuroda's communication with foreign media in an intervew April 11, 2013, was meant to communicate flexible policy action and BOJ watchful for asset bubbles developing. One of the main criticisms of Tokyo University economist, Takatoshi Ito, a candidate for BOJ chief, was that Shirakawa gave a cold shower after each move with cautious language, in effect talking down each move. Kuroda's communication with the media compares favorably with Bernake at the U.S. Fed and Draghi at the ECB.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
