Assessment[edit]

A nice start, but a bit short. Take a look at Bank of England for an example of how it can be done. Longer, more thorough introduction paragraph. (The Bank of Japan is Japan's central bank" is concise, and says pretty much all that needs to be said, but it's also disconcerting and unattractive in its brevity.) More extensive discussion of the history, and the functioning of the bank.


Base Borrowing Rate?[edit]

What is this "Base Borrowing Rate", and is it meant to be different from the official interest rate of 0.5%? 81.98.241.27 (talk) 10:30, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Who owns it?[edit]

Its shares are listed on JASDAQ - who are the main shareholders of the Bank of Japan? MMMMM742 (talk) 16:57, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

List of governors, names order[edit]

The list of governors seems to provide some names in the order of family name, given name (e.g. 3. Kawada Koichiro), which is Japanese style, and other names in the order given name, family name (e.g. 21. Makoto Usami), which is Western style. Is there a reason for this? If not, it probably needs to be fixed for consistency's sake.Praine (talk) 12:39, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Governor - Five year team[edit]

The section on the governor of the Bank of Japan describes the position as having a five year term. Going to back December 1964, the history seems to reflect that. However, some of the ones before had a much different term, and the one currently in office has been there now for over six years. Any details on this?

Relation to Hypothec Bank of Japan?[edit]

I think the Hypothec Bank (of Japan) was related to the Bank of Japan, but so far I have not been able to find out much. They may have issued yen notes, which I thought was limited to the Bank of Japan, but I'm almost certain that they issued mortgage bonds of various kinds. Whatever it was, it was still active until after WW II, but the earliest notes I found (in sales to collectors) were from around 1911. They use old styles of formal kanji, which means so far that I've been unable to figure out where the "hypothec" part could have come from. Any leads? Or pointers to an appropriate Japanese article? (And yes, I spent some time in the Japanese 日本銀行 article without getting any good leads.) Another possibility is that it was related to the Industrial Bank of Japan? Shanen (talk) 02:04, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Now I'm thinking the Hypothec Bank was the predecessor of the Long Term Credit Bank (of Japan). Can't get a page number, but I'd estimate about 1/6 of the way into Encyclopedia of Japanese Business and Management. Shanen (talk) 02:09, 1 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
