The news hit yesterday on the replacements for the BOJ monetary policy board dissenters:

  • Two new faces at the BOJ (to replace the dissenters)

The Nikkei with more today:

  • The Japanese government has tapped a proponent of reflationary monetary policy and a banker to replace outgoing Bank of Japan policy board members at odds with the dovish majority, likely bolstering support for robust quantitative easing.
  • the departure of Takahide Kiuchi and Takehiro Sato will rid the board of two members who have frequently dissented from the BOJ's current policies, fearing side effects from massive monetary easing
