Yasushi Mieno (三重野 康, Mieno Yasushi, March 17, 1924 – April 15, 2012) was a Japanese businessman, central banker, the 26th Governor of the Bank of Japan (BOJ) and a Director of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).[1][2]
Early life
[edit]Career
[edit]From April 1975 through February 1978, Mieno was head of the BOJ banking department.[4]
Mieno was BOJ Governor from December 17, 1989, to December 16, 1994,[5] having previously served as Deputy Governor from 1984 to 1989.[4] Starting a week after his appointment, from late December 1989 until August 1990, BOJ heavily increased interest rates. Soon the Japanese asset price bubble of the 1980s collapsed.[6]
In 1994, he was an elected member of the BIS Board of Directors.[1]
On April 15, 2012, Mieno died from heart failure in a Tokyo hospital.[2]
