The Bank of Japan Going Forward: Debt, Inflation and Monetary Policy Choices

Feb. 21, 2022: The Bank of Japan Going Forward: Debt, Inflation and Monetary Policy Choices

A new Governor of The Bank of Japan will be announced any day now. This will be a tough job. After more than 20 years of near-zero interest rates and 10 years of extraordinary quantitative easing – all seemingly to little effect – a new path has to be forged amidst competing vested interests. Join Professor Takeo Hoshi of The University of Tokyo for a discussion of what lies ahead for Japan’s macroeconomic policy and economic growth.

Speakers:
Takeo Hoshi, Professor, The University of Tokyo
Ulrike Schaede, Professor and Director of the Japan Forum for Innovation and Technology, UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy
