The Bank of Japan said on Tuesday that the newly appointed board member Kazuyuki Masu will hold an inaugural news conference at 1700 JST (0800 GMT).

Masu, a former chief financial officer of trading house Mitsubishi Corp., replaced former Hitachi executive Toyoaki Nakamura, seen as the most dovish member of the BOJ’s board and whose five-year term ended on Monday.
