Please join us for a Reuters NEXT Newsmaker featuring Japan’s top currency diplomat, Atsushi Mimura.

Friday, 24th January 2025 | 5:00pm JST / 8:00am GMT

As Vice Finance Minister for International Affairs, Mimura oversees Japan’s currency policy and coordinates economic policy with other countries, a crucial post amid uncertainty about the U.S. and Chinese economies and emerging signs of protectionism. 

Mimura, who has spent nearly a third of his 35-year government career at Japan’s banking regulator, helped set up the Financial Stability Board during the 2008-2009 global financial crisis to reform financial regulation and supervision during a three-year stint at the Bank for International Settlements in Basel.

Reuters Senior Correspondent-at-Large Takaya Yamaguchi will lead a discussion with Mimura about Japan’s plans to cooperate with other major countries on policy in an uncertain environment and its response to currency volatility.
