I joined the Japanese Ministry of Finance in 1984. Apart from the work on policy-making in Japan, I have been seconded to four international financial institutions throughout my career, the IMF, World Bank, BIS, and EBRD. As such, I have personally witnessed many events, crises and negotiations in the field of international finance, which will be dealt with during the class.
1984年に大蔵省(現在の財務省)に入省以来、国内の政策決定に加え、IMF、世界銀行、BIS、EBRDという4つの国際金融機関に派遣されてきた。その結果、本コースで議論されるような国際金融上の出来事、危機、交渉などを個人的に目撃してきた。
