The SVB crisis may prompt the Bank of Japan to delay policy changes, says former board member

Nomura Research Institute economist Takahide Kiuchi served on the Bank of Japan's policy board from 2012 to 2017.

Kiuchi previously expected that incoming governor Kazuo Ueda would accelerate the BOJ's normalization of monetary policy.

He said the new governor's monetary policy could be affected by the financial market conditions if the current instability of the financial markets continue.
