Toshihiko Fukui: Japan
IN MANY WAYS the governor of the Bank of Japan is an unlikely hero. Appointed in March 2003, Toshihiko Fukui was not the radical, reforming hire from outside the staid government institution that some advocated to put Japan’s finances back into shape. Instead he was an internal appointment who had served the bank faithfully through some of Japan’s darkest economic days.
These were hardly auspicious portents but Fukui’s leadership has proved to be sound so far.
