日銀審議委員、後任もリフレ派　安達氏案、国会提示―政府

　政府は２８日、３月２５日に任期満了を迎える原田泰日銀審議委員（６９）の後任に、丸三証券の安達誠司経済調査部長（５４）を充てる人事案を国会に提示した。任期は５年。安達氏は原田氏と同様、積極的な金融緩和を主張する「リフレ派」のエコノミスト。
　安達氏はデフレ経済の研究・分析などに定評がある。日銀が目標に掲げる２％の物価上昇の達成が遅れる中、追加緩和論が勢いを増すのか市場で注目されている。（2020/01/28-12:19）

The Japanese government on Tuesday presented to parliament a plan to appoint Marusan Securities Co. economist Seiji Adachi, known as an advocate of reflation through aggressive monetary easing, as a Bank of Japan Policy Board member.
   Adachi, 54-year-old head of Marusan Securities' economic research department, is set to replace Yutaka Harada, 69, whose term as BOJ policymaker will expire on March 25. Harada is also an advocate of a reflationary policy.
   The appointment of Adachi, who enjoys a good reputation for his research into and analyses of deflation, is expected to be approved during the ongoing ordinary session of the Diet, the country's parliament. He will serve a five-year term of office.
   On Tuesday, the government submitted to the boards of the steering committees of both Diet chambers proposals to appoint 15 people, including Adachi, to posts at a total of nine institutions. These appointments require parliamentary approval to take effect.
   Market participants are paying close attention to whether Adachi's joining the BOJ Policy Board will provide momentum for additional monetary easing at a time when the Japanese central bank's 2 pct inflation target remains unattained.
