Opening remarks by Mr Haruhiko Kuroda, Governor of the Bank of Japan, at the 3rd Bank of Canada and Bank of Japan joint workshop, Tokyo, 30 September 2016.

The views expressed in this speech are those of the speaker and not the view of the BIS.

I am pleased to welcome all our distinguished guests to the 3rd Bank of Canada and Bank of Japan Joint Workshop. In particular, it is our great honor to have the presence of Professor Gianluca Benigno, Professor Marvin Goodfriend, and Professor Lawrence H. Summers as speakers. Last but not least, representing the Bank of Japan, I would also like to thank the Bank of Canada team headed by Mr. Gregory Bauer and Mr. Rhys Mendes for their participation and cooperation right from the organizing phase of the workshop.
