Bank of Japan [Stock] - Nihonginko

Japanese: 日本銀行[株] - にほんぎんこう

Japan's central bank. Abbreviated as Bank of Japan. Headquarters in Tokyo. Founded in 1882. It is the only bank in Japan that issues banknotes (Bank of Japan notes), but is also a "government bank" that handles treasury funds, issues and redeems government bonds, and is also a "bank's bank" that deals with commercial financial institutions (accepting deposits, lending, buying and selling securities, etc.), and is responsible for monetary policy through interest rate policy and open market operations. It was originally a joint-stock company under the Bank of Japan Ordinance, but became a special corporation (capital of 100 million yen, 55% government investment) under the Bank of Japan Act in 1942, and in 1949 the Bank of Japan Policy Committee was established, strengthening its position as a central economic and financial institution. The governor and deputy governors are appointed by the Cabinet. The revised Bank of Japan Act, enacted in June 1997 (and effective in April 1998), included the centralization of authority in the Policy Committee and the promotion of information disclosure. The head office building was designed by Tatsuno Kingo and completed in 1896. →Bank of Japan payments→Related topicsBanks｜May 15 Incident｜National banks｜Treasury funds｜Shibusawa Keizo｜Reserve deposit system｜Specie｜Takahashi Korekiyo｜Collateral eligible bills｜Special banks｜Bank of Japan Tankan｜Bank of Japan special loans｜Hayami Yu｜Window regulations｜Mieno Yasushi｜Preferential bills

日本の中央銀行。略称日銀。本店東京。1882年創設。日本唯一の発券銀行（日本銀行券）であるが，国庫金の取扱い，国債の発行・償還などを行う〈政府の銀行〉であるほか，市中金融機関とも取引（預金の受入れ，貸出し，有価証券の売買など）を行う〈銀行の銀行〉でもあり，金利政策，公開市場操作などを通じて金融政策を担当する。最初は日本銀行条例による株式会社であったが，1942年日本銀行法による特殊法人（資本金１億円，55％政府出資）となり，1949年日銀政策委員会が設置され，経済・金融の中枢機関としての地位が強化された。総裁・副総裁は内閣が任命する。1997年６月成立（1998年４月施行）の改正日銀法では，政策委への権限集中，情報公開の推進などが盛り込まれた。なお，本店の建物は辰野金吾の設計で1896年に完成した。→日銀納付金
