Regarding Prime Minister Kishida's intention to appoint economist Kazuo Ueda as the successor to Governor Kuroda of the Bank of Japan, Izumi, the leader of the Constitutional Democratic Party, will determine whether to review the current large-scale monetary easing. He also expressed his thoughts on deciding whether to approve or disapprove of personnel proposals.
Prime Minister Kishida has decided to appoint economist Kazuo Ueda, a former deliberative committee member of the Bank of Japan, to succeed Kuroda, the governor of the Bank of Japan whose term will expire in April, and the government has also included two deputy governors. We plan to present the personnel plan to the Diet on the 14th of next week.
Regarding this, Izumi, the representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, told reporters in Sapporo, where he was visiting, "An unexpected name came up. And I think we are in the midst of promoting personnel affairs."
After that, regarding the approval or disapproval of personnel proposals, based on the fact that the party has compiled a proposal to revise monetary policy, he asked, I would like to judge the pros and cons of the policy by ascertaining the consistency of the policy."
