Cazu Wada has 18 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: been nominated as the next governor of the Bank of Japan. 19 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: Analysts expect the move to pave the way for a 20 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 1: gradual pairing back of the central banks bond buying program. 21 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: Former b o J Assistant governor Casua Moment says he 22 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: expects a wated to tread carefully at some point. Mr 23 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,119 Speaker 1: DA is trying to find a way to abandon completely 24 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: the u c of control, but on condition that it 25 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: doesn't occur upset any people if I the GUARY market, 26 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: the people or the government.

Now. Federal 32 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: Reserve Governor Michelle Bowman says that the US Central Bank 33 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: will probably have to keep raising rates to rane in 34 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: price growth. Bowman says that the need for further hikes 35 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: makes a soft landing unlikely. We are still far from 36 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: achieving price stability, and I expected that it will be 37 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: necessary to further tighten monetary policy to bring down inflation 38 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: toward our goal. Doing so will likely lead to subdued 39 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: growth in economic activity and some softening in labor market conditions. 40 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: Bowman's comments echo those of the FED chair your own Pal, 41 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: who told Bloomberg last week that further rate hikes will 42 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: be needed to quash inflation.

Bloomberg has learned that 52 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 1: a former Credit Swiss employee copied and took personal data 53 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: from other staff members, including descriptions of their compensation and 54 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: bank account information. The company warned of the breach, which 55 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: took place some years ago, in a letter to staff. 56 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: The staff member had legitimate access to the data at 57 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: the time and transferred it to a personal device in 58 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: breach of credit sweez policies.

A corporate debt ETF is now 63 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: the third largest holding in its five point seven billion 64 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: dollar US equity portfolio, and Soros Fund Management isn't alone 65 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: on taking advantage of these higher rates. Even JP Morgan's 66 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: normally bullish strategist Marko Klonovitch, is evre in government debt 67 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: over stocks. In a note yesterday, he called the equity 68 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: market complacent, saying they were overpricing recent good news on inflation. 69 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: He recommended fading this year's stock rally. In London, Valerie 70 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: title Bloomberg Daybreak Europe now away from the markets and 71 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: onto some politics.

Speaking ahead of the conference, the 76 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: NATO Secretary General Yain Stoltenberg warned of the growing intelligence 77 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: threat from Beijing and elsewhere. We see it in cyber 78 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: We see it with satellites, more and more satellites, and 79 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: we see them with the balloons. That highlights the importance 80 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: of our vigilance are increased presence, and also that we 81 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: ramp up and step up how we share intelligence and 82 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 1: how we monitor and protect our airspace. The NATO Secretary 83 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: General spoke as the US recovered what it calls significant 84 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: debris from the remains of the balloon shot down off 85 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: the coast of South Carolina last week. Those are our 86 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: top stories this morning. One of those stories on the 87 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 1: Bloomberternal this morning that caught my eye is to do 88 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: with regular office spending habits. Now it's Valentine's Day, but 89 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: some things that after the workers are not buying each 90 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: other as launch apparently no five quitter sandwich, no thank 91 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: you very much. Look people going back to officers though 92 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: immediately post pandemic they were splurging, they were going out, 93 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: they were buying the expensive coffee. The excitement, Yes, but 94 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: at the cost of living crisis has crushed all of that. Yeah, 95 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: not so good for for the retailers. That's kind of 96 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: one end of things. Then the opposite end also, so 97 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: the UK's new register for overseas owners beneficial owners of 98 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: property in the UK. I think it's such a fascinating story, right, 99 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: it's the government kind of lifting the lid on who 100 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: owns properties in the UK. We've crunched the numbers. Very 101 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: interesting names that pop up now. Yes, indeed, the Russian 102 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: tycoon Alexandra Frolov, you know, former chief executive of the 103 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: Russian Steel book ever as just one of those who's 104 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: who's featured in this story by OAR colleague Banjamin Stopples 105 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: today about people who are showing up on this list 106 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: of people who have registered properties. Yeah, you've got James 107 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: Dieton is the ucas richest person, Steff, I'm person the 108 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: man behind the Swedish retailer H and M. And yes, 109 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabian is Al Raji family, the rule of Dubai. 110 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: I mean, so many names, really interesting. Also, I like 111 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 1: this piece because we're going to blow our own trumpet, 112 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: which is that we interviewed the minister Martin Callen and 113 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: around this. You know, this is a kind of effort 114 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: in the UK to bring a bit more transparency. So yeah, 115 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: the piece, um so basically now people who own property 116 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: tracts of lands in the UK, they do have to 117 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: kind of declare themselves what a perfect summary of our 118 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: diverging interests. I'm worried about sandwiches, and Caroline is worried 119 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,679 Speaker 1: about luxury property. Right, coming up next Amazon's fourteen billion 120 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: dollar experiment tie of distress and broker it like Beckham, 121 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: now the paper review on Blue Birthday Break Europe. The 122 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: news you need to know from today's papers. It makes 123 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: James Wilcock joins us now for that, James is a 124 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: bit of a mix in the newspapers today. So so 125 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking about defense Ukraine and spy balloons, and some 126 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: about the coming council tax hikes and that cost of 127 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 1: living crisis in the UK. The first headline though, that 128 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: we'll talk about is in the telegraph and I catching 129 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: line asking can men ever get Valentine's Day? Right? I 130 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: mean that was my pivots Caroline talking about David Becker 131 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: the Telegraphic and day, can then ever get Valentine's day, right, However, 132 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: what I really want to talk about the teleraph is 133 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: this idea that David Becker has been approached to touch 134 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: front Manchester United takeover bids. Now, so what I find 135 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: me interesting about that sports story, outside of sort of 136 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: the loving with Valentine's Day, is that it is Premier 137 00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: League's most valuable club, Benches United, and it is one 138 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: of the world's top three most valuable estimates ranging that 139 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: valuation sort of four to six billion now given back 140 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: in two thousand and five, the Glazer family bought it 141 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: for eight hundred million in a lever buyout. That return 142 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: is quite impressive as well as that the Athletic calculate 143 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: that nearly four hundred and fifty million has been taken 144 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: out of the company sort of through I p O 145 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: share fields and dividends since then. But yeah, but the 146 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: thing is David Beckham may have been approached, but actually 147 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: he's not attached himself to any bids. Has This is 148 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: what's so interesting that to me about buying a company 149 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: of us as buying a football club. They often said 150 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: there's no money in it, but again the Glazer family 151 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: show there can be money made. But unlike any other company, 152 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: you have to win over the fans, so they've approached. 153 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: There are it's rumored a roughly sort of four or 154 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: five kind of big bidders at this final stage the 155 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: soft deadline for Friday, and there have been some rumors 156 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 1: that David Beckham has been approached to endure front of 157 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: these bids. When Chelsea was brought out recently, Serena Williams 158 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 1: and Lewis Hamilton's were targeted because the idea being you 159 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: get a big celebrity endorsement and it might give you 160 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: the edge and getting the fans on board. The other 161 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: side of the facetting, those like you say Beckham hasn't 162 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: attached himself to any bid because he's actually going more 163 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: of an investment focus himself. There's often more money for 164 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 1: these big famous celebrity footballers now in starting their own 165 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: companies and big investment vehicles. I mean, you look at St. 166 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's whose estimated net worth is now one billion 167 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: dollars due to his investment, not his endorsements. Okay, I'm 168 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: going to steer us neatly away from the sports news 169 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: and inflation in the Times today, inflation putting frames over 170 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: the edge. What says about So, I mean, we've been 171 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: hearing all this grimy cann't use to quite a while, Stephen, 172 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: and we go from that to the idea of, well, 173 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: how do you find out which companies are going to 174 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: go bust? Well, you talk to the experts. City restructuring specialists. 175 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: AFP of Advisory has told their shareholders expect more restructuring 176 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: in the coming months. So if the company that gets 177 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: money off doing these kind of restructurings is saying like 178 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: load up and get ready, that's worth keeping an eye on. 179 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: As well as that, researched by Earnestly Young found that 180 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: eleven percent of companies issued profit warnings in the fine 181 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: quarter of two citing type of credit conditions. That was 182 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: the first time since two thousand nine when more than 183 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: ten percent of companies issue profit warnings given those kind 184 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: of conditions. So we have the sort of the tickers 185 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: of these big red warning lights are on the upside. 186 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm a phrase, well, look if I'm not very much mistaken. 187 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: We spoke to e Y about that report about a 188 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: month ago. So interesting, yes, though, that there is this 189 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 1: kind of building consensus around the worry of, you know, 190 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: companies getting into trouble defaulting or being under such pressure. 191 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: Look just last see the Ft has an interesting interview 192 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 1: with the Amazon CEO and d Jassey. Yeah, of me, 193 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: I'd see this is an Uplifting story, so because it's 194 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: a tech story, Caroline. Amazon has said that they are 195 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: scaling back their grocery sort of business, and they bought 196 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: Whole Foods five years ago for about fourteen billion dollars 197 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: and since then it has not been a big success 198 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: for them. They have just failed to crack retail and 199 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: analyst Tho's amiss that they just don't understand it. They 200 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: don't understand shop thing, They don't stand real bricks and mortar. 201 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: Why I find that Uplifting is a company that has 202 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: revolutionized online shopping and completely change the way we buy stuff, 203 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: still can't crack some of the things that some of 204 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: the older businesses can still do going into a shop, 205 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: how a store feels, how it works. But this interew 206 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: with the Ft says they're not giving up yet. They 207 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: put a lot of that story down to the pandemic 208 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: and they intend to double down on that investment. Although 209 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: they're not open aly new stores, they expect a lot 210 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: more experimentation in the space and still think there was 211 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,079 Speaker 1: a future for the high street and having a physical store. Well, listen, 212 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 1: there is. There's one of those Amazon shops on my 213 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: high street. I must admit to having some difficulties actually 214 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: getting into the shop because it's all completely electronic. There's 215 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: nobody present. Yeah, it's just waving from the outsider saying 216 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 1: that looks nice. Well I had to figure it out 217 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 1: on the phone. Come on, how to get into the 218 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: twenty first century? Okay, very good, okay, very good, Thank 219 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: you very much. James Willcock for that review of the 220 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: papers this morning where the Japanese government has nominated Cazo 221 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: Wada to lead the Bank of Japan. He was somewhat 222 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: of a surprise pick. But what does it mean for policy? 223 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: Joining us now is Boomberg's kareem more from Tokyo. Good 224 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: morning to you and from London. What is next in 225 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: this process? Then? What happens after today? Yes, good morning, 226 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: that's three. Japanese Prime Minister Kishida submitted the official nomination 227 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: to parliament today. Uh and it's just the first step 228 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: in a week's long process. So it will be take 229 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: the next couple of months to really replace Kududa, who 230 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 1: has been at the top of the b o J 231 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: for the past ten years now, So now that the 232 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: nominations are official and that's out of the way, and 233 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: probably no more surprise because we can look to February. 234 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: We'll mark that on our calendars. That's what traders will 235 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: want to watch because that's the next big day to 236 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: keep an eye on when the parliamentary hearings begin at 237 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: the lower end upper House. So basically what happens is 238 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: this bo J governor of the new Governor of Casowia 239 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: will likely get grilled on his policy stance and be 240 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: asked about the exit strategy for the current monetary policy 241 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: and it's all part of the vetting process, but traders 242 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 1: will be hanging on to his every word and that 243 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: could really have see the Maltili in the yend like 244 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: we saw on Friday night with his announced as the 245 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: present announcement that he would be the next b o 246 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: J governor. Then if all goes as planned, the deputies 247 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: there are two deputies deputy governors of the b o J. 248 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: Also we're nominated today. They'll start on March twentieth, and 249 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: that's a few weeks ahead of the b o J 250 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: governor who will start on April nine. Okay, what do 251 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: we know of the of the deputy governors then, who 252 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,599 Speaker 1: are going to be, as you mentioned, nominated, Yes, so 253 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: the deputy governor is actually uh, it's an interesting case 254 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: here in terms of diversity. It's not exactly what we 255 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,599 Speaker 1: wanted in terms of having in Japan have leadership with 256 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: women in the top The two incoming DEPTHT governors have 257 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: the name does she and both men of course both 258 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: qualified and but the top three are again once again 259 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: all meant the expecting we were expecting the former bo 260 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: J official actually you okinah, she's a woman to actually 261 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: be nominated as one of the two incoming deputy governors, 262 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: but that didn't happen. So this nomination by Keshia really 263 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: underscores the hurdles that women facing here in Japan and 264 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: continue to face in Japan. The FED of course that 265 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: Janet Yellen ecp as Christine Lagard, so the b o 266 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: J not really keeping up in that sense. It's still 267 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: seems like a really long way to go here in 268 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: Japan when it comes to diversity, especially in leadership positions. 269 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: This is Bloomberg Daybreak Europe, your morning brief on the 270 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: stories making news from London to Wall Streets and beyond. 271 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: Look for us on your podcast feed every morning, on Apple, Spotify, 272 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: and anywhere else you get your podcasts.
