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

This via Bloomberg:

Japan's parliament has nominated banker Hitoshi Suzuki and economic analyst Goshi Kataoka to the Bank of Japan policy board

• Suzuki, 63, is an audit board member of Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ
• Kataoka, 44, of Mitsubishi UFJ Research and Consulting Co.

To replace two members whose terms are due to end in July

• Takahide Kiuchi and Takehiro Sato, both frequent dissenters

Appointments require approval by both houses of parliament. Abe's LDP and coalition partners have big majorities in both.

There will be no change in the board for the next three policy meetings.
