[About the Speaker]
Dr. Toshitaka Sekine has just been appointed as Director-General of the Research & Statistics Department of the Bank of Japan. Prior to taking up this position, he was the Deputy Director General in the International Department and Monetary Affairs Department. Before that, he spent many years as an economist at the Bank of Japan as well as as the Bank for International Settlements and the International Monetary Fund. He obtained his DPhil from Oxford University and has published widely on inflation dynamics, exchange-rate pass-through, corporate investment and bank lending behaviour. In his talk, Doctor Sekine will talk about Japan's management of its post-bubble economy and the lessons the Japanese experience holds for current policy-making in the Euro zone.
