Shirakawa elected vice-chair of BIS board
Masaaki Shirakawa, the governor of the Bank of Japan, was on Monday elected vice-chairman of the board of directors of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
The election follows Shirakawa's appointment as chair of the Basel-based bank's Asian Consultative Council. He took over that role from Zeti Akhtar Aziz, the governor of the Bank Negara Malaysia, in October.
Shirakawa was picked by the 18-member board to succeed Hans Tietmeyer, who served as vice-chairman of the board from July 2003
