New BOJ chief Kazuo Ueda inherits world's toughest central bank job
Ever since Friday, when his name was first reported in the media, Kazuo Ueda has stayed studiously silent. As the next governor of the Bank of Japan, silence will be a new and unaccustomed way of life for the voluble academic, who teaches in the business faculty at Tokyo's Kyoritsu Women's University and holds an honorary professorship at the University of Tokyo. Ueda writes prolifically, often for Nikkei, and is one of Japan's foremost experts on monetary policy.
Following the submission of his nomination to parliament on Tuesday morning, Ueda emerged from his Tokyo home to a gaggle of reporters. "I've been told [by the bank] not to comment on anything," he said, apologetically. "There is nothing I can tell you. … I will answer various questions in parliament," Ueda added, before hurrying away from the cameras. Ueda's formal approval by the Diet, expected by mid-March, is all but assured under Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's ruling Liberal Democratic Party. But the choice of the 71-year old academic is noteworthy: The job is usually reserved for veteran bureaucrats. Ueda was chosen not so much for his theoretical knowledge which appears considerable as for his interest in the hurly-burly of markets and for a pragmatic focus on the real economy, according to observers.
The outsize interest in his nomination takes place against the backdrop of a tectonic shift in central bank policy. He will succeed Haruhiko Kuroda, the main executor of Japan's economic revival program known as Abenomics, begun under former prime minister Shinzo Abe, which saw the central bank pump money into the economy in an ultimately unsuccessful effort to jump-start growth. Ueda's job, however, is not to bolster the unorthodox monetary policies pursued by his predecessor which included negative interest rates, equity purchases and yield-curve control but rather to unwind them so that Japan can focus on the root causes of its economic stagnation: lackluster productivity growth, an aging and shrinking population, and a loss of economic dynamism. (not gonna habben…as said many times…they will not stop the current policy but are really trying to make it appear that they will)' Ueda's nomination was a surprise to many BOJ watchers, who had long thought that Masayoshi Amamiya, a deputy governor at the bank and Kuroda's right-hand man, would be next in line. He was reportedly offered the job, but turned it down. According to someone who met with Amamiya on the evening of Feb. 10, following the announcement of Ueda's nomination, he explained his decision to decline: "The next BOJ leadership has to review and amend the yearslong monetary easing, a policy which I guided and was in charge of implementing. Hence, I don't think I would be able to conduct an objective and fair review."
On Ueda's nomination, Amamiya said, "The next BOJ leadership is ideal." (so there you have it..the one who turned it down (and Kuroda's sidekick) sez "it's ideal")

Nutless monkey can do this job…JGB's get over .50%..sell UST's convert into Yen and buy said JGB's-now the real question is who does CBDC first BoE or BoJ
At some point the Treasury department is gonna have a chat with them and tell them to knock off selling the USTs (Yields rise when this habbens) to do this and they will be accommodated by a Yen/$ liquidity swap-like the ECB gets now (and they are averaging $400m a week to start off the year-see another one on Thursday to replace last weeks. The NYFRB has done 9 small value amounts in the currency swaps with the BoJ (since the start of Q4 '22)-totaling $15m-which is nothing so eventually that amount will get larger-just like in the Swiss National Banks case (they gave it straight to Credit Suisse)
he'll do whatever his handlers tell him
>DO.NOT.ENVY
I don't either
But it true about the nutless monkey
It's if/when the peeps have had enough but it's not like they have a history of standing up to this stuff after WW2
Aging population etc. they have severe problems on so many levels.
