“I’ll do my sincere best if parliament approves me” as BOJ governor, Ueda told reporters in Tokyo.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s government nominated Kazuo Ueda to helm the Bank of Japan on Tuesday in a move likely to pave the way for a gradual paring back of the central bank’s full-bore stimulus.
Ueda, a university professor and former BOJ board member with a doctorate from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is Kishida’s surprise choice to replace current Governor Haruhiko Kuroda.
