The Bank of Japan, Japan's central bank, under Haruhiko Kuroda in 2013-2016

02/22/2013

The yen weakens to 94.77 yen to the dollar on Feb 25, 2013 after the announcement of the appointment of Kuroda to head the central bank by prime minister Abe. Kuroda sets a two year time frame to achieve the 2% inflation target. He has experience in monetary and currency policy as he was head of the currency policy department at the finance ministry in the early 2000's, and has published a book about the failure and success of monetary and fiscal policy. For 2 years Kuroda lectured at Hitoshibashi University, before becoming head of the Asian Development Bank. Kuroda brings the kind of experience and caliber that Bernanke, Draghi and King bring to the central banks of the U.S., Europe and the UK.

Support for Japan's Abe government and the Bank of Japan's policy to fight deflation

05/12/2011

The IMF's Lagarde calls Japan's policy "sound," and U.S. Federal Reserve chairman Bernanke says he supports countries looking at domestic economies when conducting monetary policy. The overall effect would be to help the global economy through a better performing domestic economy, says Bernanke. Gaining support in the global community for Japan's moves to reduce the value of the yen is important for the Abe administration and Japanese finance minister Taro Aso. These views were expressed at the G-20 meeting in Moscow in Feb. 2013.
