He has a big physique of over 180cm, which he educated by enjoying basketball and American soccer throughout his faculty days, and a barely hoarse, deep voice. Despite his spectacular look, he was the type of one that, via his jokes, created an environment wherein we felt comfy asking questions.
While he vividly talks about the way forward for banks, he’s additionally involved about trendy Japanese society, the place chains of poverty and inequality are rampant. That picture nonetheless leaves an impression on me. (Koki Nishizono, Economic Affairs Department)
