  • Bank of Japan board reshuffle to bring it closer to 'normal' central banking

Newcomer Junko Koeda, a 49-year-old academic known as a fiscal and monetary hawk, is likely to reinforce the shift towards higher interest rates and bring fresh thinking into a central bank long focused on reflating growth via huge stimulus. As the BOJ eyes further rate hikes, academic-turned Governor Kazuo Ueda will see a like-minded ally in Koeda, an economics professor with a Ph.D. from UCLA and a knack for quantitative analysis on the effects of monetary policy.
