"日銀總裁人選傳言刺激日本市場"

支持量化寬鬆貨幣政策的黑田東彥，已傳出將擔任下屆日本銀行總裁。

伴隨著黑田東彥可能被提名擔任日本銀行總裁的消息，日本國內股價跟著上漲。這位銀行家被認為與最近當選的首相安倍晉三意見一致，必須放寬貨幣政策以振興經濟。一有人提議要黑田出任總裁，日經225指數隨即上漲2.4%。

直至今日，安倍面臨不少反對聲浪，關於他認為政府當局應積極處理日本日益衰退的經濟問題，但若黑田被指派擔任日銀總裁，反對聲音很有可能就此平息。針對這項消息，法國巴黎銀行東京分行的岡澤恭彌表示：「若傳聞屬實，意味著安倍贏了……。安倍經濟學將不會再遭遇任何反抗或反對。」

日本目前面臨最大的問題之一就是通貨緊縮，而安倍已要求中央銀行加印鈔票，以削弱日圓，促進通貨膨脹。多的貨幣預期不僅可讓民眾增加消費，同時亦可讓日圓貶值，使企業能更容易將產品輸往海外。

(Business) BOJ Head Nomination Rumor Spurs Japanese Markets

Haruhiko Kuroda, a believer in monetary policy easing, has been talked of as the next head of the Bank of Japan.

With the news that Haruhiko Kuroda is likely to be nominated for the position of head of the Bank of Japan (BOJ), share prices in the country have risen. The banker is thought to agree with newly elected Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that monetary policy needs to be eased in order to boost the economy. After Kurodas name was put forward for the job, the Nikkei 225 index rose 2.4%.

Until now, Abe has faced some opposition to his opinion that authorities should aggressively tackle the problem of Japans faltering economy, but if Kuroda was appointed to lead the BOJ, that opposition would likely end. Reacting to the news, Kyoya Okazawa from BNP Paribas in Tokyo said: If the report is right, it means Abe has won... There will no longer be any resistance or opposition to Abenomics.

One of the biggest problems facing Japan right now is deflation, and Abe has called for the central bank to print more money in order to weaken the yen and promote inflation. Not only is the extra currency expected to get people spending, it has also weakened the currency, making it easier for the businesses to export their goods overseas.
