TOKYO (Reuters) -- Japan's government on Tuesday nominated Junko Koeda, an academic who had warned of the cost of prolonged monetary easing, to join the Bank of Japan board in March, a choice analysts say will keep the central bank on course to raise interest rates.
If approved by parliament, it will be the first time two women will take seats on the male-dominated, nine-member board. There has been only one woman on the board up until now; Junko Nakagawa joined in 2021.
