At the Governing Council meetings of both Houses of the House of Representatives, the government presented 25 appointments to 9 institutions, including the chairman of the Fair Trade Commission and inspectors of the Board of Audit, which required the approval of the Diet.

In the personnel proposal,


Mr. Kazuyuki Furuya, former Assistant Chief Cabinet Secretary, will be reappointed as chairman of the Fair Trade Commission, and


Mr. Yayoi Tanaka, former specially appointed professor of an independent administrative agency, will be reappointed as an inspector of the Board of Audit. I'm assuming.



In addition,


Mr. Hidenori Mitsui, former director of the Financial Services Agency, will be reappointed as chairman of the Deposit Insurance Corporation, and


Mr. Hirotomo Nomura, chairman of Nikkei BP, will be newly appointed as a National Public Safety Commissioner.



Of these, regarding the appointment of the chairman of the Fair Trade Commission and the inspector of the Board of Audit, on the 26th of this month, the Committee on Operation of the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives held a hearing and questioned their opinions, and the government decided to proceed with these procedures. We would like to obtain the consent of the Diet as soon as possible.



On the other hand, regarding Governor Kuroda of the Bank of Japan, whose term will expire in April, Prime Minister Kishida has clarified his intention to replace Mr. Kuroda, and has expressed his intention to present a successor's personnel plan to the Diet next month. I'm here.
