Lex live: Bank of Japan
Thu Jun 22, 9:05 AM ET
The prospect of a new central banker in Japan, as well as in the US, at an inflection point in monetary policy is not cheering. Nonetheless, there is a possibility that Toshihiko Fukui will be obliged to hand over the top job at the Bank of Japan.
Mr Fukui prompted public ire after he admitted investing in a fund run by Yoshiaki Murakami, who was arrested earlier this month over alleged insider trading. Mr Fukui sought to sell the investment in February, reaping a handsome profit in the process. All this is perfectly legal - bizarrely, Japan does not require its central bankers to disclose their assets - but rankles with a public increasingly hung up on income disparities. A residual sense that making money without sweat is grubby adds to public disquiet. Almost half those surveyed in a Kyodo poll reckoned Mr Fukui should go.
The government, meanwhile, is rallying round the central banker. That is more worrying. It clearly suits the government, which is against premature tightening, to have a weakened central bank governor at the helm. But mud-raking by the opposition may yet cost them their man. There are, for example, embarrassing questions over timing of the divestment: just before the Bank of Japan stopped flooding banks with excess liquidity and just as speculation that Mr Murakami might be ensnared by prosecutors started to percolate through the market.
Regardless of what happens, the distraction is something Mr Fukui - and Japan - can ill afford. In the current febrile environment, markets will be as spooked by a failure to raise rates next month as by an increase. Continuing uncertainty further clouds the outlook. US investors have discovered that a new pair of hands at the helm can lead to wobbles. Alas, Japanese investors are discovering that an old hand can also rock the boat.
