November 19, 2018  Bank  of  Japan  Demographic Changes and Challenges for Financial Sector Remarks at the Paris EUROPLACE Financial Forum in Tokyo  Haruhiko Kuroda Governor of the Bank of Japan  Introduction It is a great honor for me to have the opportunity once again to give a speech at the Paris Europlace Financial Forum.
Among the many occasions I was invited to this Forum in the past, I talked about financial innovation in the last two years. This year, I would like to talk about another long-term issue faced by many advanced economies; namely, demographic changes. Among advanced economies, France has led the way in tackling the issues brought about by declining population.
