TOKYO, March 20 (Xinhua) -- New Bank of Japan (BOJ) governor Haruhiko Kuroda took office Wednesday along with two of his deputy governors Kikuo Iwata and Hiroshi Nakaso.
The new leadership of BOJ is widely expected to take further monetary easing steps, which are in line with the government's goal to overcome deflation and stimulate the economy.
Ahead of the appointment, Kuroda was the former Asian Development Bank president, while Iwata was the former Gakushuin University professor and Nakaso the former BOJ executive director.
The central bank will hold its first regular policy meeting under the new leadership on April 3 and 4.
