Bank of Japan Branch Managers Meeting Next month, a video conference will not be held at the head office in Tokyo at 17:24 on March 13

The Bank of Japan has decided to hold a branch manager meeting scheduled for next month by video conference. This is an important meeting to check the nation's economy, but we will postpone gathering branch managers nationwide at the head office in Tokyo to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection.

Once every three months, the BOJ gathers branch managers from all over the country at the head office in Tokyo and holds a branch manager meeting to summarize the economic judgments of the nine regions nationwide as a "Regional Economic Report."

The next meeting, scheduled for next month, will have a closer look at how the spread of the new coronavirus has affected tourism, consumption, and corporate production across the country.

However, to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, we decided not to recruit branch managers to our head office and to hold a videoconference on the 13th.

The Bank of Japan said, "We decided to make every effort to prevent the spread of infectious diseases." As the spread of the new coronavirus spreads, various important meetings such as the G7 = Foreign Ministers' Meeting of the seven major countries late this month and the IMF = International Monetary Fund and World Bank General Assembly to be held in the United States next month will be changed to video conferences. It has been.
