Born in 1944, Kuroda was admitted to the Faculty of Law of the University of Tokyo in 1963. From 65438 to 0967, Kuroda joined the Japanese Ministry of Finance, and from 65438 to 0972, he was sent to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). After returning to Japan's Ministry of Finance, Haruhiko Kuroda has a bright future. When 1987 to 1988 served as the director of the International Organizations Division of the International Finance Bureau, Kuroda was already one of the hottest candidates for the Japanese Ministry of Finance in the future. 1After being appointed as the director of the International Finance Bureau of the Ministry of Finance in July, 1997, Kuroda became the right-hand man of the finance minister at that time. In Koizumi's government, he served as a special adviser to the Prime Minister's Cabinet and concurrently served as a professor of economics at hitotsubashi university Graduate School.
In February 2005, he became the president of the Asian Development Bank.
1From 1997 to 2003, Haruhiko Kuroda served as the director of the International Finance Bureau and the deputy minister of the Japanese Ministry of Finance, helping to plan and implement the Gong Ze Plan involving 30 billion US dollars.
In May 2000, ASEAN, China, Japan and South Korea (the famous ASEAN 10+3) signed the Chiang Mai Agreement in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Kuroda's participation in presiding over the Chiang Mai Agreement is the most important institutional achievement of Asian monetary and financial cooperation. This is of great significance for preventing financial crisis and further promoting regional monetary cooperation. Many economists in Japan have been striving for the realization of Asian monetary integration as soon as possible, because China's economy will surpass Japan in the near future, and regional economic integration is a matter of time. Therefore, Asian dollar should be popularized before China grows up. Kuroda was one of the representatives before he was promoted to president of ADB.
Kuroda is an advocate of the free exchange rate system and is known as the godfather of money.
Kuroda was the first to publish the theory of RMB appreciation in the Financial Times, which made the RMB exchange rate issue widely concerned by the international community.
Haruhiko Kuroda answers reporters' questions after being promoted to president (part)
The Asian Development Bank is a non-governmental organization, so I will resign from my teaching position in Joy and my administrative position in the Japanese government. The work of the Asian Development Bank should take into account the balanced development of all countries, especially the development needs of poor countries, and provide them with development assistance, not the interests of individual countries. I will work hard for this.
