Kuroda likely favorite for second BOJ term, if willing

Kuroda has missed his own inflation target. He has also squandered trillions, paying over the odds for government debt which will plunge in value if he does hit his inflation target.

If I were him I would make myself scarce before the inevitable financial crisis hits.

They have bought fixed term yen debt and funded it by issuing zero coupon perpetual yen debt.

If you think that is "squandering trillions" you may need to re-take high school econ, or math, or both.

I truly think Japan needs more crusty, out of date, half dead ojisans leading things. Not enough we need more

People never learn.
